Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, seems to be very concerned about the threat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria now that the election is drawing to a close, but it wasn’t always that way.

During the Sept. 28 debate between Braley and his opponent for U.S. Senate, Republican Joni Ernst, the incumbent congressman said he voted “to give the president limited authority to begin strikes against terrorists in Iraq and Syria.” He emphasized the threat of the Islamic State and added that “any time American citizens are attacked by a terrorist group, they need to be brought to justice or to the grave.”
