Brown Hits Shaheen Over Blocking of Cruz's Anti-ISIS Bill

The Scott Brown campaign released the following statement after Senate Democrats blocked Senator Ted Cruz’s bill to strip American ISIS fighters of their citizenship. Brown has used foreign policy, immigration and the economy to pull even with Jeanne Shaheen in the New Hampshire Senate race.

“It’s disgraceful that Senate Democrats have blocked a measure that would have stopped American ISIS fighters from returning to the United States and inflicting harm on our citizens. My question is, where was Senator Shaheen? A strategy against ISIS has to take into account the need to keep them from slipping into the country. Jeanne Shaheen failed to lead on this issue and instead silently acquiesced to the effort to prevent this common sense measure from becoming law.”
