Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) slammed Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris over the weekend for her position on the Islamic Republic of Iran, the world’s state sponsor of terrorism.

Cotton made the remarks during a Sunday interview on Fox News while talking about how her policy toward Israel since the October 7 massacre is “an example of how she’s unprepared to be the commander in chief.”

“She immediately took at face value Hamas’ claims about the number of people killed and what they were doing,” Cotton said, noting how she believed information released by the Hamas terrorists who control Gaza’s health ministry.

“Israel has to strike on occasion at places like hospitals and schools because Hamas uses them for command and control or to fire mortars and rockets,” Cotton said. “There are civilian casualties in Gaza, no doubt, but those are solely the responsibility of Hamas, not Israel. Kamala Harris, like Joe Biden, though, have put more pressure on Israel than they put on Hamas from the very beginning.”

Cotton also noted that Harris has sided with anti-Semites in the Democrat Party who boycotted Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last month when he addressed U.S. lawmakers.

“She refused to preside over the joint session, her only constitutional duty as president of the Senate, she refused to have a meeting in public with him, and she came out and again blamed Israel for the civilian casualties in Gaza, only emboldening Iran and Iranian-backed terrorists,” Cotton said. “And what did you have two days later? Hezbollah, another Iranian-backed terrorist group, shot in rockets to Israel and blew up children playing ball at a playground.

“Kamala Harris is naïve, and she’s not prepared to be the commander in chief,” he said.

Cotton also slammed Harris for falsely “implying that Israel is responsible for all the civilian suffering in Gaza, not Hamas, that Israel is the one being provocative when it’s waging a defensive war after the October 7 atrocity and that Israel is the one that should pull in its horns, as opposed to supporting Israel and standing strong against Iran and Iranian-backed terrorist throughout the region.”

Since October 7, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have put more pressure on Israel than they have on Hamas.
