Charleston,
SC –
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
statement
below
regarding
the
terror
attacks
that
took
place
in
Brussels,
Belgium
earlier
today.
“It
is
heartbreaking
to
see
so
many
innocent
lives
taken,
and
we
stand
with
the
people
of
Belgium
today.
Terror
groups
and
Islamic
terrorists
value
death
above
life,
and
we
have
seen
the
manifestation
of
their
values
over
the
past
six
months
in
San
Bernardino,
Paris
and
now
Brussels.
We
must
redouble
our
efforts
to
build
partnerships
around
the
world
to
tackle
the
scourge
of
terrorism,
and
to
keep
innocent
people
everywhere
safe.
This
includes
looking
at
our
own
vulnerabilities,
and
improving
our
own
visa
and
refugee
systems
to
ensure
terror
groups
are
not
able
to
extend
their
footprint
in
America.
The
United
States
must
step
up
and
lead
–
we
are
seeing
the
tragic
consequences
of
what
happens
when
we
don’t.”
