South Carolina Senator and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Tim Scott told Newsmax on Tuesday that the terrorist group Hamas needs to be wiped from the face of the Earth.
"Bottom line is as President of United States ... one thing I would do is I would not send a mixed message" about the war in Israel, Scott told "The Chris Salcedo Show." The senator's comments come after the Biden administration suggested supporting both Palestine and Israel.
The Republican candidate's comment fell after the terrorist group attacked civilians in Israel on Oct. 7. The war has since provoked strong emotions from all sides of the political aisle.
