Sen. Tom Cotton said the attack on Russia at a concert venue that left more than 130 people dead is a "dangerous echo of President Biden's failed withdrawal from Afghanistan."

"And that's exactly what we've seen happen. It's deeply regrettable that innocent civilians, women and children were killed in Moscow, but the next attacks can be against an American Embassy in Asia or in Europe or against, say, students traveling to Europe on a school trip for spring break. Again, this is a very dangerous echo of President Biden's failed withdrawal from Afghanistan," Cotton continued.

Cotton continued that "you don't even have to sit on the Intelligence Committee" to be "very worried" about ISIS terrorists attacking Americans, whether in the homeland or traveling abroad.
