The tables have turned – US congressman speaks on airstrikes

Riley Moore

United States Congressman Riley Moore has stated that the tables have turned for terrorists in Nigeria after the “present” they received from President Donald Trump on Christmas Day.

Speaking on the US military airstrikes in Sokoto, Nigeria, on December 25, Moore pointed out that the bombardment was meant to end the killing of Christians in the country.

He said the Islamic terrorists got a dose of their own medicine via the airstrikes after slaughtering Christians during the last two Christmas celebrations.

“Obviously, President Trump has finally stood up to this, and I do want to point out something very important: the last two Christmases, there has been a massacre of Christians in Nigeria,” Moore stated in an X post.

“The tables have absolutely turned this year. The Islamic terrorists in Nigeria were the ones receiving that type of present this year.

“So, quite a bit different, the president is totally focused on this. He made that very clear in this attack, and this is a very good first step to addressing this issue.

“We did this in coordination with the Nigerian government, which is very important to point out.

“Because this isn’t the United States unilaterally doing this, we are doing this in coordination with the Nigerian government to help secure their country and end the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria,” he added.
