A Florida Senator running for re-election is using his campaign apparatus to weigh in on foreign policy.
Specifically, Rick Scott's political operation wonders why Democrats aren't doing more to stop the ISIS-K terror group.
For the uninitiated, the group of roughly 2,000 paramilitary fighters "aspires to establish a province in ISIS's self-proclaimed caliphate by controlling territory in 'the Khorasan,' referring to Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan, Central Asia, and Iran," per the Director of National Intelligence.
The splinter group "primarily fights against the Taliban in Afghanistan while seeking to discredit the governments of neighboring countries, promote sectarian violence, and exploit poor economic conditions and social divisions to attract members. The branch obtains funding from ISIS in Syria and sources in Afghanistan."
Per an email from Scott's political operation, worries aren't about ISIS-K actions in Asia, but closer to home, with warnings of a "major attack on the U.S. after slipping in through the southern border" leading to a "possibility" of an attack on American soil, according to New York Post reporting.
"While our border is being invaded and the potential for a massive terror attack on U.S. soil grows, Florida Democrats' radical Senate candidate remains silent on the crisis and threats posed to Floridians," Scott's campaign argues, though the Democrats have yet to formally nominate his opponent yet and won't until August.
"The crisis at the southern border is life and death, and Joe Biden, the socialist Squad, and Congresswoman (Debbie) Mucarsel-Powell refuse to act. Individuals on the terror watch list are coming across our open border, and experts are warning a terror attack may be on the way. Biden and Rep. Mucarsel-Powell cannot continue to ignore the fears and the safety of the American people," a campaign spokesperson adds.
