The 2024 candidate was pressed about his accusation against the president.
Sen. Tim Scott speaks with reporters after signing papers to get on the Republican presidential primary ballot at the New Hampshire Statehouse, Oct. 20, 2023, in Concord, N.H.South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott on Sunday defended his recent accusation that President Joe Biden has "blood on his hands" after Hamas' terror attack on Israel earlier this month,, was pressed by co-anchor Jonathan Karl on his sharply worded criticism of the president during an event on Oct.
"Do not be surprised when the result of that $6 billion leads to more conflict in the Middle East," Scott told Karl.Biden traveled to Israel last week amid the conflict and has repeatedly voiced his support for the country. The White House has also defended the money that was to be unblocked for Iran, saying it was solely designated for humanitarian purposes and would be supervised.
Karl followed up: "But I think we can agree that the blood is on the hands of Hamas. That's who is to blame for what happened."Scott conceded that the militants bore immediate responsibility but doubled down on his criticism of the White House. In a move seen as an attempt to appease conservatives, the Biden administration included an ask for $14 billion to go to border management as part of the new foreign aid proposal.
"What we need to do is make sure that we put the blame where it belongs, and that's on Iran. We need to send the clearest message that if we see the death of more Americans, that that is on the shoulders, frankly, and in the hands of Iran," he said.
