Radical Islamic terrorists slaughtering and brutalizing their innocent victims. So the question is, when will America actually confront this terrible reality? We certainly won't if Democrats win in November. In Wisconsin, I'm running against Russ Feingold, a man who even after 911 was the only senator to vote against giving law enforcement the tools they need to help stop international terror. During his 18 year Senate career, he also voted against authorizing our military 11 separate times. Now he's asking Wisconsinites to give him a fourth term. (02:52–03:05)

CLAIM

Asserts that Russ Feingold was the only senator to vote against anti-terror law enforcement tools post-9/11.
