The Republican Wendy Rodgers has made a commercial that shows an ISIS agent holding a knife to James Foley's neck taken right out of the beheading video. The commercial however, does not show the actual beheading. The commercial then shows Rodgers stating that "Terrorist threats are growing. Are we secure? Are we protected? Keeping us safe and secure is Congress's job. Kyrsten Sinema hasn't done her job... She's allowed her liberal agenda to get in the way of our safety."The Republicans have essentially called the Democrats weak on terrorism and the Democrats are enraged. They demanded that the Republicans take down the ad, but Republican retorted saying that it was a fair use of current affairs.
I think that the Republicans are right to do this. In times of hardship you can't be soft you have to change and be hard. Of course the Republicans should ask the family members if it is okay to display the video, and if they did the commercial is justified. The Republicans are trying to change and develop the situation on ISIS and the only way for the Americans to see that is to be brutally honest.
