Republican lawmakers waylaid by camera-wielding activists on Capitol Hill over the past several months have used the encounters to declare their support of Israel and put Hamas on blast.
The far-left group Code Pink caught up with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and asked him if he would call for a ceasefire in Gaza, where Israeli forces are fighting to root out Hamas following the group&#8217;s terrorist attack last October.
&#8220;On the contrary. Are you filming this?&#8221; Rubio said. “I want you guys to get this: I want them to destroy every element of Hamas they can get their hands on,&#8221; the senator <a href="https://twitter.com/medeabenjamin/status/1730020678126981293" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, speaking to the camera. &#8220;These people are vicious animals who did horrifying crimes, and I hope you guys post that.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Watch: 
Amazingly said. Well done Senator <a href="https://twitter.com/marcorubio?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@marcorubio</a> 👏🏻 <a href="https://t.co/fV1lMFKO6V">pic.twitter.com/fV1lMFKO6V</a>

Rubio also said Hamas should stop &#8220;hiding behind&#8221; civilians and blamed the group &#8220;100%&#8221; for the deaths of people caught in the crossfire.
Another video, posted by the Daily Caller&#8217;s Henry Rogers, showed Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) chide a group of protesters speaking out about Gaza.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
JUST NOW: “You guys are crazy” &#8211;<a href="https://twitter.com/RepJimBanks?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@repjimbanks</a> to pro-Hamas protesters swarming the Capitol today: <a href="https://twitter.com/DailyCaller?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DailyCaller</a> <a href="https://t.co/jxojIEnkJ7">pic.twitter.com/jxojIEnkJ7</a>

&#8220;You guys are crazy,&#8221; Banks said.&#8221; You should go home.&#8221;
In a Code Pink video, Rep. Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN) delivered a forceful response to a group of people who pressed him on Gaza.
“Let me make it clear. Israel is our ally, will always be our ally, and they are not guilty of genocide, and I will support Israel forever,&#8221; he said.
As the clash went on, Fleischmann said, &#8220;Goodbye to Palestine.&#8221; He also insisted, &#8220;The Jewish people will never suffer again under Palestinian terrorism, under Hamas, under Hezbollah. Israel will be secure forever!&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Women, children, and men in Gaza are being starved and massacred by American-backed Israeli forces everyday, and this Congressman says: &quot;Goodbye Palestine&quot; <a href="https://twitter.com/codepink?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@codepink</a> <a href="https://t.co/da53wqtPtB">pic.twitter.com/da53wqtPtB</a>
&mdash; Medea Benjamin (@medeabenjamin) <a href="https://twitter.com/medeabenjamin/status/1765465025555116529?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 6, 2024</a></blockquote>
&nbsp;
After the exchange, Fleischmann shared a statement that said he was &#8220;confronted by anti-American, pro-Hamas, Leftist protesters who support the destruction of Israel.&#8221; He added, &#8220;Tennesseans and Americans nationwide are fed up with this small, antisemitic movement that refuses to acknowledge Israel&#8217;s right to exist and defend itself.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
The United States of America will always stand together with Israel and against evil radical terrorists and their supporters! <a href="https://t.co/NIBGlshOZO">pic.twitter.com/NIBGlshOZO</a>
&mdash; Chuck Fleischmann (@RepChuck) <a href="https://twitter.com/RepChuck/status/1765782861695668652?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 7, 2024</a></blockquote>
Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), who lost both his legs while serving in Afghanistan, shared what he had to say to Code Pink in a video edited to have classical music playing in the background, creating a juxtaposition to the shouting of insults and expletives by one woman.
The lawmaker is seen calmly addressing the activists. He said he would &#8220;absolutely not&#8221; support a ceasefire and offered assurances that he would not let their taxpayer dollars go to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-n-aid-group-pleads-for-more-money-after-workers-linked-to-hamas-terrorists" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleged links to Hamas terrorists</a>.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Hey <a href="https://twitter.com/codepink?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CodePink</a>, do you know where we stand with terrorists? We stand on their throats. <a href="https://t.co/4WBQ6xi70K">pic.twitter.com/4WBQ6xi70K</a>
&mdash; Rep. Brian Mast (@RepBrianMast) <a href="https://twitter.com/RepBrianMast/status/1766162360035590217?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 8, 2024</a></blockquote>
&#8220;Do you know where we stand on terrorists?&#8221; he asked at another point in the video. After getting accused of being a terrorist, Mast provided the answer himself:  &#8220;We stand on their throats.&#8221;
