Domestic terror threats top worry for Congress members on 9/11 anniversary

On the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, members of Congress on both sides of the political aisle expressed that they are most worried about rising domestic terrorism harming Americans.

Asked whether he was more concerned about domestic or foreign terrorists, Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., told Fox News Digital, “You’ve got to be vigilant on all of it.”

Yet, in the wake of the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, Burchett placed particular blame on the left, saying, “They’ve got blood on their hands on this one, there is no question.

“The repercussions, I think, could be monumental at the ballot box.”

Arrington expressed particular concern about terrorists who were let into the country through the border.

“You also can’t allow your border to be wide open where you have people, record numbers of people, on the terrorist watch list over here,” he said.
