“Well, Margaret, I don’t agree that all these immigrants, or all these refugees have been properly vetted,” Vance stated. “In fact, we know that there are cases of people who allegedly were properly vetted and then were literally planning terrorist attacks in our country. That happened during the campaign, if you may remember. So, clearly, not all of these foreign nationals have been properly vetted.”
