On the recordNovember 16, 2015
On Friday, November 13, the world was reminded once again that freedom has its foes when Islamic State militants killed 129 people and injured hundreds more in coordinated terrorist attacks in Paris. As we mourn those whose lives were lost and pray for the people of France as they confront this terrible tragedy, we must let the adversaries of liberty know that champions of freedom will not be stopped. We will not waver, we will not cede strength, and we will stand firm. Today a video released by an Islamic State subgroup appears to show militants praising the Paris attacks and warning that a similar attack could take place in Washington. Congress will continue to explore ways in which we can defeat Islamic State, but it is time for President Obama, who told ABC News on Friday that we ``have contained'' Islamic State, to take seriously this threat to our Nation and all that we stand for. ____________________
