Alek Skarlatos stopped a terrorist attack in Europe in 2015
Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren sat down with Alek Skarlatos, a veteran hero who helped stop a terrorist attack on a Paris-bound train in 2015, about his run for Congress in Oregon's 4th congressional district.
Lahren previewed her interview with the 27-year-old Army National Guard veteran on her show "No Interruption." The hero hopes to flip the seat Republican against 33-year incumbent liberal Democratic Rep. Peter DeFazio.
"He decided after taking down a terrorist he is ready to take down the swamp in Washington, D.C.," Lahren told "Fox & Friends" Thursday of Skarlatos.
Her longtime friend is ready to "fight for the rural people of Oregon and show that not all young people are crazy and liberal and leftist and that they believe in the Second Amendment. They believe in freedom. They believe in small-town America and he is ready to win," she added.
Skarlatos played himself in the 2018 Clint Eastwood film The 15:17 to Paris, which depicted the attempted attack on a train from Amsterdam to Paris. Skarlatos and two of his friends, Anthony Sadler and Spencer Stone, were traveling in Europe in August 2015 when they incapacitated an Islamist gunman.
Since then he came in third on the show, "Dancing with the Stars," and now the hero wants to help flip his district red.

Did she call him “trash,” or is that term reserved for the men her friends date?
Skarlatos is running against DeFazio, not Lahren.

I’m voting for him.
That is my FERVENT prayer.
Unfortunately, many of the people in SOUTHERN Oregon who lost their homes to the fires are older and Conservative, and this could have an adverse affect on the election, Can’t help but wonder if these HORRIBLE fires were the work NOT of “Mother Nature”, but of some other well-paid and EVIL “mothers”!
It’s terrible what has happened there, FRiend.
Found out yesterday that a good friends daughter and son-in-law lost their home and everything they owned in the Talent/Phoenix fire.
We lived in the area for fifteen years before moving north to So Washington because of our kids and families.
I’ve no doubt at all that the majority of fires in OR, WA, and CA are arson caused.
She is a completely self absorbed blonde haired pile of self worshipping vomit.
I see Fox News has resurrected this little blond misandrist harpy.
I wish I could - I'm not in his district. My congresscritter is the eminently forgettable Kurt Schrader, 5th District.
We need to get control of Salem.
