Rep. Gowdy, Sen. Scott Issue Joint Statement on ISIS, Call for Presidential Leadership

South Carolina— Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) today issued this joint statement: "We are increasingly concerned about the horrific actions and brutality of ISIS spreading across Iraq and Syria and the lack of a clear plan of action from the President. Religious minorities and innocents have suffered unspeakable atrocities at the hands of these oppressors. Our nation's current foreign policy is nearly impossible to decipher while ISIS grows emboldened by the day. We call on the President to clarify and communicate to the Congress and the American people his strategy for how he is going to counter this growing threat to humanity and our national security." ###
