Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-Va.), chair of the House Energy Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, suggested in his newsletter on Thursday that the Biden administration may have been “partly responsible” for Hamas’s Oct. 7 terror attack.
“Were the Biden-Harris actions in Afghanistan and their dealings with Iran partly responsible for the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7 of last year?” he wrote. “Maybe? But I believe it certainly didn’t help.”
Griffith added that more than two dozen of the 1,200 people killed by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7 were U.S. citizens.
“Hundreds were taken hostage, including 12 Americans,” and “11 months later, Israeli forces are still trying to rescue them,” he stated. “As I’m writing, they rescued a Bedouin hostage in Gaza. Some Americans are still held captive by Hamas. As we watch the news, Israel faces missile and drone attacks from Hezbollah.”
“To the delight of our terrorist foes overseas, the freedom-seeking world is paying the price for Biden-Harris naïveté and negligence,” he added.
