Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., tweeted Friday morning that the U.S. is at war with “radical Islamic terrorism,” and said the U.S. needs to “immediately deport any non-citizens listed on a terror watch list.”
“Islamic terrorists will use every tool at their disposal; whether it is an airplane, a boat, truck, pressure-cooker, knife, or a gun,” he said in a separate tweet. “Any government official who focuses on the method more than the terrorists themselves is making a disastrous mistake.”
His tweets appeared less than a day after the terror attack in Nice, France, that left at least 84 dead and more than 200 wounded, and said “bold steps” are needed to keep the country safe.
He then called on President Obama to first “halt the Syrian refugee resettlement program” and then “immediately deport any non-citizens listed on a terror-watch list.”
