The parents of Kayla Mueller, the young Christian woman kidnapped and slain by ISIS, attended the vice presidential debate on Wednesday as guests of Vice President Mike Pence, who mentioned their daughter’s ordeal during his face-off with Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA).

After laying out what he characterized as President Donald Trump’s foreign policy successes, Pence brought up both ISIS as well as Carl and Marsha Mueller, saying, “When President Trump came into office, ISIS had captured an area of the Middle East the size of Pennsylvania. But President Trump unleashed the American military, and our armed forces destroyed the ISIS caliphate and took down their leader, al-Baghdadi, without one American casualty.”
