After discussing the heroic actions of his son and three other men in taking down the gunman, the father, Emanuel Skarlatos, asked host Tamron Hall, “Can I just say one quick thing?”

“It’s better to die like a lion that be slaughtered like sheep. And this terrorist coward deserved what he got, and the PC crowd needs to recognize terrorism for what it is. And I thank you very much for having me on,” the father said.

Earlier in the show, the father said he isn’t quite sure when he will be reunited with his son.
