Cotton slams Harris as 'naive' on Iran, blasts VP for not being tough on Hamas

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., slammed Vice President Harris as "naive" on Iran and blasted the Democratic presidential candidate for not being tough on Hamas.

Cotton, who serves on the Senate Intelligence, Armed Services and Judiciary Committees, said during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday" that Harris’ policy toward Israel over the past 10 months alone is "just an example of how she's unprepared to be the commander in chief."

"She immediately took at face value Hamas' claims about the number of people killed and what they were doing," Cotton said. The death toll in Gaza is reported by the Hamas-controlled Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between combatant and civilian casualties.

"Israel has to strike on occasion at places like hospitals and schools because Hamas uses them for command and control or to fire mortars and rockets," Cotton said. "There are civilian casualties in Gaza, no doubt, but those are solely the responsibility of Hamas, not Israel. Kamala Harris, like Joe Biden, though, have put more pressure on Israel than they put on Hamas from the very beginning."

The senator also condemned how Harris, who as vice president presides over the Senate, joined the approximately 128 Democratic members of Congress in skipping Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to both chambers last month. Harris did have a separate closed-door meeting with Netanyahu at her office on the White House grounds while he was in Washington, D.C.
