The Obama administration is ignoring the link between radical Islam and terrorism, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee said Thursday.

In an interview with Fox News, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) tied the terrorist attack in Benghazi to the Boston Marathon bombings, saying that in both cases, the Obama administration had ignored the connection to radical Islam. 

“There’s a wider thing here, some narrative throughout the administration where they just don’t want to admit who the real enemy is and confront the enemy head on, and that’s radical Islam,” McCaul said. 

On Wednesday, three State Department officials testified that they were disappointed with the department’s response to the 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
