Congresswoman Comstock’s statement on terrorist attacks in Paris

Congresswoman Barbara Comstock (VA-10) released the following statement after the Paris terrorist attacks that occurred last night::

“We stand with Paris, which has suffered coordinated and unspeakable terrorist attacks.  Our prayers are with those who were murdered and their loved ones and all those first responders and security officials who are risking their lives to protect those in the aftermath of these attacks. 

Sadly this is a continuing reminder of the threat that the civilized world faces and the need for our continued vigilance in battling terrorism. 

Once again we see innocent civilians—of all races, backgrounds, religions and ages—going about their daily lives who are brutally murdered as an attack on our way of life.  We cannot allow these demonic terrorist and ISIS networks to stand. 

If you have a family member or friends in Paris who are U.S. citizens, the State Department has activated a hotline and you can call 1-888-407-4747 if you are in the U.S. and 1-202-501-4444 if you are overseas.”
