Washington, D.C.- Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement on the Paris terrorist attacks:

"My thoughts and prayers are with the French as they mourn those killed in yesterday's terrorist attacks. Know that America stands with you today.

"These attacks are a terrible, but clarifying reminder of the evil that exists in the world. But we must not bow to our enemy. Rather this event should bring us together and steel our resolve to defeat global jihadism. We must continue to take the fight to this enemy, and provide our military, intelligence services, and law enforcement with the resources and authorities they need to keep us safe. We must work with our allies to defend freedom and liberty around the world."
