Rep. Mike Waltz: “President Trump’s maximum pressure campaign dried up money for Hezbollah, Hamas, & other Iranian-backed militias.Now, under Biden, they’re flush with cash and unleashing hell on Israel and the world. Disastrous.”
Video transcript
-Well, Congressman Issa is absolutely right. Whether it was the UN Relief Agency, where its teachers, its students, and others were praising Hamas's martyrs, justifying rocket attacks, President Trump defunded it, also defunded UNESCO for its anti-Israel bias. Biden restored it to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. We recently voted to defund it again on top of the fact that, under Trump, they tried to at least get Hamas sanctioned and labeled. No one voted for it, not even the UK and France. But the biggest thing that I watched, Sean, under President Trump, because of his maximum-pressure campaign on Iran -- we can't forget the head of the snake here -- Hezbollah, Hamas, the militias in Iraq, the Iranian-backed ones -- were all complaining that they were running out of money. Their coffers were dried up. They couldn't afford to pay their fighters. That was all under President Trump. Now they're flush with cash, and they're unleashing hell upon Israel and the entire world. We've got to get back to those maximum-pressure policies. That's why we got to get Trump back in the White House.
