First Rubio TV ad: ‘What happened in Paris could happen here’

Sen. Marco Rubio (F-Fla.) is vowing to defeat Islamic terrorism and keep the U.S. secure in his presidential campaign’s first TV ad.

{mosads}“This is a civilizational struggle between the values of freedom and liberty, and radical Islamic terror,” Rubio says in the ad, which will start airing nationally on Tuesday. “What happened in Paris could happen here.”

“There is no middle ground,” he adds.

“These aren’t disgruntled or dis-empowered people,” Rubio says. “These are radical terrorists who want to kill us, because we let women drive, because we let girls go to school.”

“I’m Marco Rubio. I approve this message because there can be no arrangement or negotiation. Either they win or we do.”

Rubio is in third place in the crowded GOP presidential field with 11 percent support, according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll released Sunday morning. Front-runner Donald Trump has 32 percent in that poll, followed by Ben Carson with 22 percent.
