Rep. Fleischmann Speaks On Orlando Shootings On Fox News Channel
Statement
Issues: National Security
Tennessee 3rd District Congressman Chuck Fleischmann recently appeared on the Fox News Channel in an interview by Brett Baier.
Fleischmann compared the shootings in Orlando to the July 16th, 2015 shootings in Chattanooga that left 5 servicemen dead.
Fleischmann said, "this is a sad day for all Americans," before going on to compare the two shootings. In both, the gunman was believed to be influenced by radical, extremist Islam.
He also touted a bill he is sponsoring in Congress, H.R. 4820, the Combating Terrorist Recruitment Act of 2016. The bill has been passed by the House but has yet to clear the Senate.
