"Terrorists have once again struck in the United States, with attacks being attempted and carried out this weekend in New York City, New Jersey and Minnesota.
Radical Islamic terrorism was behind the Crossroads Mall attack in Minnesota. Law enforcement is still attempting to confirm whether it motivated the Afghan-born terrorist who planted four bombs in New York and New Jersey as well. While thankfully the alert, vigilant and collaborative efforts among our first responders ensured no loss of life and apprehended the suspects, these attacks, as well as those previously in Orlando and San Bernardino, remind us that terrorists remain committed to killing Americans and destroying our way of life.
No amount of political correctness will change the fact that we remain at war against a merciless, brutal enemy who has no interest in peace or negotiating. This is a war we must win."
