Hillary Clinton's Statement on the Apparent Terrorist Attacks
After yesterday’s attacks in Minnesota, New Jersey and New York, Hillary Clinton released the following statement:
“I
strongly condemn the apparent terrorist attacks in Minnesota, New
Jersey, and New York. I pray for all of those who were wounded, and for
their families. Once again, we saw the bravery of our first responders
who run toward danger to help others. Their quick actions saved lives.
Law enforcement officials are working to identify who was behind the
attacks in New York and New Jersey and we should give them the support
they need to finish the job and bring those responsible to justice - we
will not rest until that happens. ISIS has claimed responsibility for
the attack in Minnesota, and this should steel our resolve to protect
our country and defeat ISIS and other terrorist groups. I have laid out a
comprehensive plan to do that. This includes launching an intelligence
surge to help identify and thwart attacks before they can be carried
out, and to spot lone wolf attackers. We also need to work with Silicon
Valley to counter propaganda and recruitment efforts online. Americans
have faced threats before, and our resilience in the face of them only
makes us stronger. I am confident we will once again choose resolve over
fear.”
