Thom Tillis on Live Execution of the Fort Hood Shooter: It Will Radicalize Other People, ‘This Is Not Who We Are’

RUSH EXCERPT:
TILLIS: "It’s another example of where U.S. lives, American lives will be put at risk. Terrorist organizations will use this as a recruiting tool. It will radicalize other people, and this is not who we are. Look, the fort hood shooter should be put to death, but there is a — there is a way to deal with this that’s proper and there’s a way to deal with this that’s more improper than I have ever observed in my life. This is not who we are, and it’s another example of what Pete Hegseth and all of his bravado needs to get the hell out of the Department of Defense because he is a failed leader and we need strong leadership supporting President Trump right now. We need to end the conflict in Iran, and I do believe that some of Pete Hegseth’s meandering, he’s more responsible for increased energy prices than president Zelenskyy. We have to get our act together in Iran and we have to recognize the real threat to western democracy is not anybody other than Vladimir Putin and a man who wants to re-establish the Russian empire and communism throughout the world. He’s no different than khrushchev. He wants to bury us and President Trump needs to recognize that."
