Ted Cruz Calls Chattanooga Attacks An ‘Act of War’
By Morgan Chalfant, July 17, 2015 Free Beacon
Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz labeled the attacks on two military centers in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Thursday that killed four U.S. Marines and injured two others an “act of war.”
Cruz said in a statement Friday that Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, the Kuwait-born suspected gunman in the attacks, traveled to the Army Recruiting Center and the Naval and Marine Reserve Center “to carry out jihad, an act of radical Islamic terrorism.”
“We need to rid ourselves of two dangerous delusions,” Cruz, a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, explained, “first and foremost that a ‘lone gunman’ — as President Obama described the shooter — is somehow isolated from the larger threat of radical Islamic terrorism.”
