Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, C -- NY-1), member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa, and Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade, released the following statement today regarding the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California:
"This is the largest ISIS inspired terrorist attack on American soil ever. ISIS must be destroyed overseas or we will be facing the threat more and more at home. America needs a strategy to win rather than trying to run in place at best. Throw away the obsession with prioritizing political correctness over the strongest and most effective possible pursuit of our national defense. It's time for America to toughen up, come to reality with the threat we are up against, and eliminate it. The best way to achieve peace is to wipe ISIS off the face of the earth. It is not to live on our heels sacrificing time and security while ISIS grows in strength, numbers and resources."
