Wilson: House Calls ISIL Atrocities Genocide

March 15, 2016

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) issued the following statement after the House unanimously passed H. Con. Res. 75:

"For too long, this Administration has downplayed the atrocities committed by ISIL. We can no longer turn a bling eye- ISIL is committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide against Christians and other religious minorities. I am grateful to be a co-sponsor of H. Con. Res. 75, legislation that clearly denounces ISIL. Christians and other religious minorities have every right to practice their faith in their homeland, and we must hold ISIL accountable for their horrific actions."
