Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders react to Brussels terrorist attacks

The final count of fatalities in the Brussels, Belgium, terrorist attacks is still unknown, but is currently being reported as at least 34, with hundreds of injuries. Republican presidential candidates John Kasich, Ted Cruz, and Donald Trump have responded on a continuum from “how’s this guy going to survive in the Republican Party” to “yeah, those are the Republicans we know and fear.” Here’s what the Democratic candidates have to say.

Hillary Clinton:

Terrorists have once again struck at the heart of Europe, but their campaign of hate and fear will not succeed. The people of Brussels, of Europe, and of the world will not be intimidated by these vicious killers. Today Americans stand in solidarity with our European allies. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those killed and wounded, and all the people of Belgium. These terrorists seek to undermine the democratic values that are the foundation of our alliance and our way of life, but they will never succeed. Today’s attacks will only strengthen our resolve to stand together as allies and defeat terrorism and radical jihadism around the world.

Bernie Sanders:

We offer our deepest condolences to the families who lost loved ones in this barbaric attack and to the people of Brussels who were the target of another cowardly attempt to terrorize innocent civilians. We stand with our European allies to offer any necessary assistance in these difficult times.

Today’s attack is a brutal reminder that the international community must come together to destroy ISIS. This type of barbarism cannot be allowed to continue.
