House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul endorsed Donald Trump at the GOP convention Monday, and implored voters to ask themselves one question: “Are you safer than you were eight years ago — is our military stronger?”
McCaul was channeling a line from President Reagan in 1980 when he famously asked, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”
But McCaul went further, asking whether America is still respected in the world after eight years of the Obama administration’s foreign policy that he blamed for fanning the flames of terrorism.
“Over and over again, Obama and Hillary apologized for America … and allowed jihadists to spread like wildfire,” he said.
“Instead of protecting Americans, the Obama administration turned a blind eye to danger,” he said. “So let’s cut through the suffocating political correctness and call the threat what it really is … radical Islam.”
“These fanatics have radicalized a religion into a weapon, and they are targeting our way of life,” he said. “We cannot afford Hillary in the White House again.”
Instead of allowing terrorists to gain ground against American, Trump, he said, “will shake the ground they walk on.”
“He will never apologize for American greatness… he will promote it,” he said. “He will never bow down to our enemies, he will stand up to them.”
