Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard<\/a> slammed Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., Friday for referring to the shooting of two West Virginia National Guard soldiers in Washington, D.C., as an “unfortunate accident” during a hearing this week.<\/p>\n

Thompson, the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, made the remarks during a “Worldwide Threats to the Homeland” hearing Thursday on Capitol Hill while speaking to Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It is absolutely infuriating,” Gabbard said on Fox & Friends. “He cannot and refuses to directly identify this attack for what it was, a terrorist attack on our own soil against our National Guard, men and women in this case, who are putting their lives on the line.”<\/p>\n

On Thanksgiving Eve, two national guard members<\/a> were shot blocks from the White House, allegedly by an Afghan refugee. Spc. Sarah Beckstrom was killed and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe was critically wounded.<\/p>\n

Thompson said during the hearing, “Madam Secretary, you and the gentleman from NCTC (Joe Kent) reference the unfortunate accident that occurred<\/a> with the National Guardsman being killed.”<\/p>\n

Noem responded, “You think that was an unfortunate accident? It was a terrorist attack.”<\/p>\n

Gabbard said the guard members\u2019 “direct mission was to keep the American people safe,” and that the exchange between Thompson and Noem “points to the egregious and longstanding problem.”<\/p>\n

The director said leaders on both sides of the political aisle “have refused to identify this Islamist terrorist threat<\/a> for exactly what it is, which is one of the reasons why we find ourselves in the position that we’re in today.”<\/p>\n

Thompson was asked Friday on “CNN News Central” by co-host Kate Bolduan if he stood by his assertion that the shooting was an “unfortunate accident.”<\/p>\n

“Oh, absolutely not,” the Democratic representative replied. “And obviously, let me be clear, I was moving toward the discussion that [Kristi Noem] could not blame Joe Biden<\/a> on the situation because she approved this person’s asylum application and that’s where we were headed and so the issue is…”<\/p>\n

Bolduan then interrupted Thompson, asking him, “You’re saying you misspoke?”<\/p>\n

“Oh, absolutely. Absolutely,” he responded.<\/p>\n
