Video Resurfaces of HBO’s John Oliver Calling for More Afghan Migration After Afghan Migrant Killings Sarah Beckstrom, National Guardsman

Video of HBO host John Oliver pushing for more visas for Afghans has gone viral following the death of 20-year-old National Guardsman Sarah Beckstrom at the hands of an Afghan who worked for the CIA.

Beckstrom was shot the day before Thanksgiving in Washington, D.C. and died from her injuries the next day. U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, was also shot. The man accused of attacking the two soldiers was identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national.

Following this horrific crime, a video resurfaced showing Oliver demanding that the US government – ​​then under President Barack Obama – open the doors for countless numbers of Afghan nationals to immigrate to the United States.

Oliver focused his commentary on Afghan translators who assisted U.S. troops during U.S. military actions in Afghanistan. He pleaded for the federal government to move more quickly to approve more visas for them.

But the accused shooter of our National Guard troops, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was indeed one of those collaborators who helped American troops in Afghanistan. And he was imported to the United States with his burkha-clad wife and five children. Yet he still decided to leave Washington state and travel across the country to Washington DC in order to assassinate American soldiers.

According to reports, Lakanwal was a member of a partner force in Kandahar, Afghanistan, CIA Director John Ratcliffe revealed.
