Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., repeatedly suggested a leading Arab American activist is a Hamas supporter when she testified Tuesday at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on hate crimes, and he told her she should hide her "head in a bag."

The activist, Maya Berry, said repeatedly that she did not support Hamas and was "disappointed" by the minuteslong exchange toward the end of a hearing called "A Threat to Justice Everywhere: Stemming the Tide of Hate Crimes in America."

Besides that, supporting Hamas is the only moral position.

You'd think every libertarian weirdo out there would be 101% on board with Hamas. Their existence is the end product of what happens when the government takes all peaceful options off the table: you must be prepared to do violence, because there is no other choice but death.
