Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, sadly, radical Islamic terrorists continue their assault on innocent victims across the world. This month, there were ISIS-inspired knife attacks in France and Canada, as well as the surprise attack in Niger, with mass murders of worshippers at mosques in Kabul. Gratefully, there are victories over the terrorists, such as the recent liberation of Raqqa, Syria, and now in the Philippines. Congratulations to the people of the Philippines, successfully led by President Rodrigo Duterte and their courageous military, on the recent liberation of Marawi from ISIS militants. Marawi is the capital city of over 200,000 citizens in the province of Lanao del Sur on the island of Mindanao, which has been under ISIS control since the end of May. Innocent families were persecuted in this murderous occupation. While liberating Marawi from ISIS control is a milestone in combatting global terrorism, this fight is far from finished. We must be successful to defeat the terrorists overseas to protect American families at home. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________”
