Nashville, TN — Bill Hagerty, candidate for U.S. Senate, today released the following statement after Iran issued an arrest warrant for President Trump, for taking out the top Iranian general and known terrorist Qasem Soleimani:

“Soleimani was a terrorist with the blood of Americans on his hands. Thanks to President Trump’s decisive leadership, the world is a much safer place because Soleimani is dead,” said Bill Hagerty. “Iran’s issuing of the arrest warrant against President Trump and the men and women who fought to eliminate Soleimani is nothing but a political stunt – in an attempt to distract from Soleimani’s strong ties to radical Islamic terrorism. If Joe Biden were president, Qasem Soleimani would still be plotting to kill Americans. Strong leadership means standing up to radical Islamic terrorism and that’s exactly what President Trump has done. As your Senator, I will work side by side with him and never stop fighting to defeat radical Islamic terrorism.”
