Politician
Sept. 22, 2021
Tweet - "Let's be clear: Dems are aiding terrorists. First they handed the Taliban tens of billions of dollars in military equipment. And yesterday, they cut Iron Dome funding--which protects Israel from terrorists--from their spending bill. They're putting our national security at risk."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Sept. 11, 2021
Cassidy Delivers Video Address on 20th Anniversary of 9/11
Sen. Bill Cassidy
Sept. 8, 2021
Tweet - "Let's review: Biden said our troops wouldn't leave until all Americans got out. Then he pulled our troops before all Americans got out. Americans are STILL stranded. But that didn't stop him from going on vacation last weekend. Absolutely shameful from a commander in chief."
