WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The senator from Arkansas argued that the president’s job is to keep Americans safe and not to minimize the fear they "justly fear about terrorism."

"President Obama, in the middle of a terrorist attack, when Americans were murdered, maimed and still missing, went to a baseball game and did the way with Castro," Cotton said in an interview with MSNBC.

Cotton also said the Obama administration tries to downplay the fear of terrorism.

"This is not a mistake on President Obama’s part, this is the deliberate policy," he pointed out.

On Tuesday, Islamic terrorists attacked the departure hall of the Brussels Zaventem international airport with two explosions. Another explosion took place at the Maelbeek metro station near where the European Union institutions are located. Thirty-one people were killed and more than 300 were injured in the attacks.

The Islamic State, also known as Daesh and outlawed in Russia and numerous other countries, claimed responsibility for the attacks.
