On Sunday, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) criticized Vice President Kamala Harris as a “dangerous liberal” in response to remarks she made following her meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, D.C., last week.
Following the lethal October 7 attacks, Harris, who is currently running for president, garnered attention for her criticism of Israel’s efforts to combat Hamas in the Gaza Strip, particularly in relation to civilian casualties.
She was adamant that the manner in which Israel defends itself is significant and swore not to remain silent in the wake of the tragedies in Gaza.
In a clip that CNN played for Cotton, the Vice President also condemned Hamas.
“As is sometimes said, the most important part of a statement comes after the but. We didn’t hear the but there, but she said ‘but,’ and then what followed is continued pressure on Israel, blaming Israel for civilian casualties in Gaza, when, in reality, it’s Hamas that is using civilians as human shields and locating its command posts and mortar-firing positions at schools or at mosques or at hospitals,” Cotton said in response to the statement.
“And where’s the condemnation for this heinous attack by Hezbollah yesterday that blew up 12 children? As we came on the air, Kamala Harris and her campaign has still not said anything to condemn Hezbollah for that attack. Again, this is only a week into her presidency — or her presidential campaign. And we see why she is a dangerous liberal. I saw Kamala Harris up close for four years on the Senate Intelligence Committee. What the American people see this week is just a small sampling of what she would do to make America less safe and make the world more chaotic.” he continued.
“Remember, she took credit for a lot of the worst decisions of the Biden administration. She said she was right there when they decided on the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. This is who Kamala Harris always has been. This is who she will be, a San Francisco liberal who cannot keep this country safe.” he concluded.
