Katie Britt: Israel ‘glad they didn’t listen to Kamala Harris’ after hunt for Hamas leaders proved successful

U.S. Senator Katie Britt said Israel’s elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is proof that the Jewish state was right to ignore Vice President Kamala Harris’ objections to a ground invasion into Rafah.

She joined Rightside Radio on Monday and discussed her support of Israel’s right to self-defense and its use of hardline tactics in the hunt for radical Islamic militants.

“Isn’t that the way you want to be known,” said Britt (R-Montgomery). “It’s like if you come for me, you can go hide but guess what? I will find you. And that is what Israel has said. You think back to October 7 and obviously just the devastation and the barbaric terrorist attack, and there were so many, even this ground invasion.”

Thanks @SenPhilWilliams and @Rightside_Media for discussing how dangerously wrong VP Harris has been on foreign policy. She “studied the maps” and called it "a huge mistake" for Israel to go into Rafah. Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar would be alive today if Israel had listened to her. pic.twitter.com/acwsbWda2O

Britt bashed Vice President Kamala Harris’ efforts to stop an incursion into Rafah, the city where Sinwar was eventually found and eliminated by the Israeli Defense forces.

“Think about Sinwar. So you have Kamala Harris saying, you know, I quote, I’ve studied the map and a ground invasion will not work in Rafa. Well, aren’t we glad they didn’t listen to Kamala Harris? Aren’t they glad that they went in because otherwise, he would still be out there plotting, killing more innocent Jewish people and Americans?”

“We’ve got to take a step back and just applaud Israel for making sure that barbaric terrorists are no longer on the face of this globe.”

Weeks after the October 7th attack, Britt visited Israel and emphasized the country’s duty to defend itself.

“Israel has– not only the right – they have the obligation, the obligation to their children and their children’s children,” she said. “They have an obligation to the innocent. They have an obligation to the peace-loving people of this world. And that is ultimately what we want. We want Hamas to be destroyed and we want peace to be restored. President Reagan said that ‘evil cannot exist if the good are unafraid.”
