U.S. Republican Senate candidate Bill Hagerty said on Twitter Sunday that he supports “putting an end to radical Islamic terrorism.”
Hagerty said this in response to the operation that resulted in the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Hagerty wants to replace the retiring-U.S. Republican Lamar Alexander. Alexander represents Tennessee in the U.S. Senate, alongside U.S. Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn.
“As your Senator, I’ll support President Trump and our military as they seek to secure our nation and our allies from the threat of radical Islam,” Hagerty tweeted Sunday.
Elsewhere on Twitter, Hagerty said he was grateful to the U.S. military and to U.S. Republican President Donald Trump.
Trump, speaking at the White House, described al-Baghdadi as “the world’s No. 1 terrorist.”
