Top concern domestic terrorist threats for members of the congress on September 11

On the occasion of the 24th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the members of the Congress on both sides of the political aisle expressed their most worried about the increase in domestic terrorism harming the Americans.

When asked if he was more concerned about national or foreign terrorists, representative Tim Buchett, R-Tenn., Told Fox News Digital: “You must be vigilant about everything.”

However, in the wake of the assassination of the conservative chief Charlie Kirk at the University of Utah Valley, Burchett gave a particular blame on the left, saying: “They have blood on it, there is no doubt.

“The repercussions, I think, could be monumental in the polls.”

The representative Chip Roy, R-Texas, replied that “we need a country that respects the rule of law and can really engage in civil speech. We do not have it for the moment. This is a problem.

“We have threats from all the way, abroad and here, but you know that we must start respecting the rule of law, or we will have nothing.”

In the current climate, representative Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, replied: “I think the servant. It is not a question of if but when.

“You can’t drop your guard either,” added Arrington. “I was at the White House on September 11 with George W. Bush.”

Arrington expressed a particular concern to the terrorists who have been left into the country through the border.

“Nor can you allow your border to be widely opened where you have people, a number of people, on the terrorist surveillance list here,” he said.

Another Texas Republican, representative Troy Nehls, said that he was worried about LET terrorists in the country by the Biden administration.

“What we have seen with all terrorism, individuals crossing our southern border in the past four years and attacking innocent victims in our country, killing Laken Riley and everyone. I mean, these individuals coming here, Tren de Aragua, I consider these terrorists, not? Coming here and causing evil and impact.”

Like Roy, Nehls deplored violence by “American peoples against the Americans with a dissident point of view”.

“We cannot have an occasional conversation and agree to disagree. We will start to lift our fists or start pointing rifles and start shooting on people,” said Nehls. “Let’s go too far.”

Representative Don Bacon, R-Neb., Said that although the international terrorist threat is “still there”, he believes “, we have an increased domestic problem because we have lost our spiritually moorings a little.

“Many people have no hope or goal, a hope or a spiritual goal. And then you have all this demonization, and people meet.

“I want to work with my republican colleagues and the community for the police and activists and people of good will to ensure the security of our community.”

The representative Ritchie Torres, Rn.y., said: “I worry in the era of social media. I think we are witnessing the rise of violent extremism and domestic terrorism in the country and abroad.”

Torres added that “the security of public figures can no longer be considered as acquired”.

“I have lost an incentive to make public events without in-depth security precautions,” he shared. “I suspect that anxiety weighs heavily on each member of the congress.”
