Scott Campaign Press Release - Scott: Foreign Nationals On A Visa Supporting Terrorism "Should Be Sent Back To Their Country"

"Anyone who stands up and who says they want to kill Jews, they support terrorism. They should have that visa revoked." – Tim Scott 

COLUMBIA, SC – Tim Scott joined The Sean Hannity Show today to strongly condemn the anti-Israel demonstrations taking place on college campuses across the country. Tim also outlined the need to revoke visas for foreign nationals who support terrorism. He reaffirmed the United States' obligation to stand with Israel and eliminate the existential threat posed by Hamas.

Earlier today, Tim was joined by Midlands voters as he officially filed for the 2024 South Carolina presidential primary ballot.

Sean Hannity: I wish it wasn't happening. I can wish all day. I wish there wasn't evil in the world, but we both know that there is. We've seen the images. I guess one of the most shocking things to come out post this was what was happening on Friday, and that is these massive protests. I'm sure you saw the images in Times Square, it looked like New Year's Eve, and, you know, people without the moral clarity to see that Israel was the victim of a terror attack. And you know, all these people died, over 1,300 Israelis. If you compare their population to ours, it would be the equivalent of 38,000. And people support Hamas. I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around that Senator.

Sen Scott: Sean, I gotta tell you, it was devastating to see people in our own country marching and celebrating an absolute terrorist organization for the annihilation of our Jewish brothers and sisters. Hamas wants to wipe Israel off the map, but they don't stop there. There are two more steps. The second step is to eliminate all Jews anywhere on the planet, and the third is to compromise and then destroy Western democracies. And I gotta tell you, if any of those students on college campuses are foreign nationals on a visa, they should be sent back to their country. Anyone who stands up and who says they want to kill Jews, they support terrorism. They should have that visa revoked.

I'll tell you, I think we have, we're living in an alternate universe where the radical Left continues to sow seeds of division and polarization, and they want to have a story about the oppressor and the oppressed. We've seen that. I've said this so many times, Sean, the fact is that the radical Left will use anybody, any group, any issue to hold onto their power. Here at home, they want to divide America on racial lines and on class lines and globally, they want to put people in positions of being the oppressor, and they come to the defense of the oppressed, no matter how inconsistent with human history that story actually is. And that's exactly what they're doing. This is where the indoctrination of our young people versus the education of our young people is so important. We have to stop indoctrinating college students and high school students that America is evil, or that Western democracies are somehow oppressors.
