Senator Josh Hawley Shares Blunt Message With Pro-Gaza Protester

Senator Josh Hawley had a simple and blunt exchange with a pro-Gaza protester.

The Senator from Missouri was filmed having a discussion with Code Pink protesters, and one lady was especially fired up over the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The Israelis continue to battle the terrorist organization following the October 7th attack. Josh Hawley - similar to many Americans - believes Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorism.

Well, one Code Pink protester doesn't think that's what's happening.

Josh Hawley lights up Code Pink protesters over Israel/Hamas war.

"Don’t give us your talking points… bulls*t, you are unbelievable," the woman could be heard telling Hawley as the Senator calmly tried to discuss the issue.

He then only needed a few words to end the situation. The Senator calmly described the protesters as "pro-terrorist" before walking away.

Props to Josh Hawley for not mincing words when it came to dealing with these protesters. It's a war, folks. People die in war, including civilians.

It's unfortunate, nobody is happy about it and it should be avoided. However, the loss of life in Gaza is on Hamas. Every drop of blood that is lost in Gaza is on Hamas' hands. If there had been no October 7th attack, then there'd be no war. It's that simple.

Israel has a right to defend itself, and when scumbag terrorists choose to hide in the civilian population behind women and children, then they're 100% to blame for the loss of innocent life.

Again, nobody wants innocent people to die in any war - whether it's WWII or the Israel/Hamas war. It's just an unfortunate fact. It could also end right now if Hamas surrendered. Why aren't protesters demanding that happen? Interesting. I'd like an answer to that question.

Credit to Josh Hawley for not backing down when it came to these protesters. More people should learn to hold the line in similar fashion. Let me know what you think at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
