Scott slams Squad for 'giving comfort to antisemitism' in vote against Israel resolution: 'Sinister forces'
Fox News
Sen. Tim Scott reacted to members of "The Squad" voting against a pro-Israel resolution by accusing them of giving "aid and comfort to antisemitism."
"They are giving aid and comfort to antisemitism and politicizing our relationship with our ally Israel. It’s a dangerous, reckless signal for members of Congress to send. The rest of us should send a clear message that we stand WITH Israel and AGAINST those who are sowing strife with our allies." Andrew Mark Miller is a writer at Fox News.

Scott’s comment comes after nine Democrats – including Squad members Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Cori Bush of Missouri – voted against a resolution to affirm that Israel is not a racist or apartheid state.
