playing politics with national security

Stephanie Murphy leaned on her national security experience to get elected, but yesterday showed her true colors by voting to permit the use of taxpayer funds to transfer or release prisoners detained at Guantanamo Bay. The amendment would allow terrorists to be moved to the United States, and if Murphy thinks Floridians are okay with terrorists on U.S. soil, her vote shows just how out-of-touch she is.

Moving the most dangerous terrorists in the world poses a risk to our national security, and someone with Murphy’s background should know that.
