Scott Campaign Press Release - Tim Scott: We Cannot Have Members Of Congress Being Propaganda Machines For Hamas

NEW YORK, NY – Tonight, Tim Scott joined Fox News on Hannity to slam the silence of the Squad and mainstream media following their disgusting spread of false Hamas propaganda.

WATCH HERE

Sean Hannity: You saw Congresswoman Tlaib. You see the tweets of Congresswoman Omar. You see the media in this country. They were all racing to blame Israel with no evidence.

Tim Scott: Yes. Absolutely insane. One of the reasons why I spoke on the floor of the Senate today was to send a message. When they thought it was Israel who shot the rocket, they were all up in flames. Everybody was coming out against them. The media, the New York Times, AP, and the Squad. When they found out that maybe it wasn't, quiet as a church mouse. It's unbelievable how disgusting the reaction is when they think it's Israel. And then how amazingly quiet- No coverage. No denying. And frankly, I asked from the floor, delete the tweet. Delete the tweet.

We cannot have members of Congress being a part of the propaganda machine for Hamas. It's undeniably crazy. We deserve better.

Sean Hannity: Do you agree with me that the hundred million dollars that Joe promised to go to the Palestinians, do you agree with me, all that money's going straight to Hamas?

Tim Scott: Listen, one of the reasons why I'm leading legislation with Senator Ricketts is to stop sending money into Gaza until Israel cleans it out. You just can't do that. Money is fungible. The one thing that we know without any question, you send money, even if you have good intentions, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Stop it. Let's not get involved there. Let's stand shoulder to shoulder and back to back with Israel. Give them the time to eliminate Hamas from the face of the planet before you do anything else.
