Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala, said in an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday that she is worried about the possibility of more terrorist attacks in America in the wake of the New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans that killed 15 people, including the perpetrator, and injured 30 more.

“You’ve said you asked Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer twice last year to schedule a Senate briefing on terrorist groups such as ISIS, but he never even responded,” Tapper asked Britt during the nearly 10-minute segment. “We obviously saw the ISIS-inspired attack here on New Year’s Day in New Orleans. How concerned are you about the potential for more terrorist attacks here at home?”

“Significantly,” responded Britt.

“We have lost an Alabamian in that attack. We lost both a young man who went to the University of Alabama and a young man who was born and raised here in the state,” said Britt, referring to Kareem Badawi, a freshman at the University of Alabama, and Drew Dauphin, an Auburn University graduate, two young men who were killed that night.

A group of friends visiting New Orleans from Mobile were among the 30 or so injured in the attack.

During the interview, Britt told Tapper she spoke to the parents of Drew Dauphin and the heartbreak from his mother was “unimaginable.”

“She said ‘never would I believe that my son would be killed by a terrorist’,” said Britt.

The senator immediately went on to blame Pres. Joe Biden’s administration’s policies for the attacks.

“And when you rewind from where this came from, in my opinion, this was a direct result of Biden’s failed policies across the world,” she said. “When you look at the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. We know that that created a vacuum. It created a vacuum that allowed ISIS to continue to flourish.”

“We cannot allow these things to happen on American soil,” Britt added.

The FBI identified the driver as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S. citizen and Army veteran from Texas as the perpetrator of the attack. Jabbar drove a pickup truck that bore the flag of the Islamic State into a crowd of revelers celebrating the New Year on Bourbon Street. Investigators also found multiple improvised explosive devices, including two pipe bombs that were concealed within coolers and wired for remote detonation, according to the Associated Press.

Earlier this month, Gov. Kay Ivey declared a day of mourning for the Alabama victims of the attack, in solidarity with New Orleans.
