Senator Graham On Hostage Situation At Texas Synagogue: ‘This Is A Religious War’
January 16, 2022 | Texas
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told Fox News on Saturday evening that the hostage situation that unfolded on Saturday afternoon at a synagogue in Texas was part of a “perfect storm brewing” and that it was a “religious war.”
Graham’s remarks come after a man took several hostages at Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville and demanded the release of a convicted Islamic terrorist who he claimed was his sister.
“This is a religious war,” Graham told Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro. “What did I say on your show when we withdrew from Afghanistan? That this is a perfect storm brewing. The rise in terrorism by the Taliban taking back over; al Qaeda roams freely in Afghanistan. ISIS is alive and well over there, and the border is broken — it’s just a matter of time before terrorists over there come through our border and kill a bunch of Americans. I don’t know about the fact pattern here, but also this week, the Ayatollah’s people, the people around him, released a video indicating a desire to kill President Trump on a golf course. … And the Biden administration hasn’t done a damn thing.”..
