Tim Scott: Hamas Terrorists Need To ‘Feel The Wrath Of God’ — And Some Israeli ‘Military Hardware’

Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) said on Tuesday that Hamas terrorists — who perpetrated a series of unprovoked and brutal attacks on Israeli soldiers and civilians — needed to “feel the wrath of God” in response to their actions.

Scott, who was speaking at Washington, D.C.’s Hudson Institute as part of a series featuring 2024 presidential candidates, also suggested that Hamas might soon face the business end of some Israeli or American “military hardware.”

The Associated Press’ Meg Kinnard reported on Scott’s remarks, saying that the presidential hopeful said those guilty of the devastating attacks on Israel should be prepared to “feel the wrath of God.”

“And they need to meet some Israeli or American military hardware to help them on their way,” Scott added.

The South Carolina senator continued to call out President Joe Biden during his speech as well, saying that his administration had telegraphed weakness to the world, and in so doing, had opened the door for this and further terror attacks worldwide.

Calling for the return of American hostages, Scott also spends a good bit of time decrying "The Squad" & Democratic Socialists of America for pro-Palestinian sentiments:

"If the DSA & their friends are going to behave like a hate group, we should treat them like a hate group."

Scott also responded to several members of Congress — namely “The Squad” and members of the Democratic Socialists of America — who had voiced pro-Palestinian sentiments and talking points in the days since the attacks began.

“If the DSA and their friends are going to behave like a hate group, we should treat them like a hate group,” Scott said.

Scott took to X to drive his point home with regard to President Biden, saying on Tuesday, “What did Iran say about Biden’s $6B ransom? They said they’d use it however they like. What did Hamas say to Iran? They said thank you for your support. Biden’s weakness invited the attack. Biden’s negotiation funded the attack.”

What did Iran say about Biden’s $6B ransom? They said they’d use it however they like.

What did Hamas say to Iran? They said thank you for your support.

Biden’s weakness invited the attack.

Biden’s negotiation funded the attack.

Biden’s proxies have been adamant that the $6 billion in funds that was recently released to Iran had not yet been spent and therefore could not have been used to fund this particular set of attacks. But as a number of people have pointed out, Iran could have used other assets to fund and support the attacks — especially if they knew that another $6 billion was in the offing.
