Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, recently addressed the ongoing anti-Israel protests happening across the United States. The discussion was prompted by reports linking some of President Biden's major donors to funding these demonstrations, as highlighted in a Politico article. Hawley expressed little surprise at this revelation, attributing the financial support to familiar liberal dark money groups.
Hawley raised concerns about potential illegal activities being funded by these groups, emphasizing that it is against U.S. law for nonprofit organizations to support actions that violate the law. He specifically mentioned incidents such as taking over campuses, vandalizing statues, breaking into buildings, and threatening the safety of Jewish students. He called for transparency and accountability, stating that the American people deserve to know the truth about these financial backers.
Furthermore, Hawley accused the 'liberal dark money groups' of effectively endorsing Hamas terrorists through their support of the anti-Israel protests. He condemned such actions as being pro-terrorism and highlighted the dangerous rhetoric calling for violence against Israel and Jewish Americans, which he described as advocating for genocide.
In a critical tone, Hawley suggested that the current administration, particularly Attorney General Merrick Garland, may be complicit in covering up these alleged connections and activities. He criticized what he perceived as corruption within the administration and called for greater transparency and accountability.
