ICYMI: Rick Nolan confirms he wants to bring terrorists to the “mainland”
As he faces increased pressure for his extreme votes on national security, Rick Nolan sent out a statement from his government office, explaining that he does, indeed want to transfer the dangerous terrorists held at GITMO, a group that includes 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, to facilities in the “mainland” United States. Nolan went on to explain that he does not think keeping Americans safe is a good use of taxpayer money.
Nolan released this statement after voting yesterday against a bill that would temporarily prohibit further transfers of terrorists out of GITMO. This vote came a day after the Obama administration admitted that two more terrorists it released from GITMO had rejoined the fight against the United States and our allies.
Rick Nolan’s dangerous record on national security is not limited to GITMO, however. Nolan also supports Obama’s disastrous nuclear deal with Obama that is estimated to have already provided $37.4 million in funding for terrorist organizations, and has come under fire for his votes against raising pay for our troops, while voting for pay raise for himself.
