Marco Rubio Blasts ‘Disturbing’ Protesters Taking to American Streets at the ‘Instruction’ of Hamas’ Baby Butchers
Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) blasted the protesters taking to American streets at the instruction of Hamas in an appearance on CNN This Morning Friday.
The terrorist organization has called for a “Day of Jihad” across the world on Friday, asking supporters to take to the streets in support of their cold-blooded kidnapping, rape, and murder of more than a thousand Israeli civilians over the weekend.
The call has prompted concerns over the security of sensitive locations, including Jewish schools, synagogues, and the United States Capitol Building.

Asked to predict how the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel might play out by CNN’s Phil Mattingly, Rubio took the opportunity to first address the pro-Hamas protests in the U.S..
“Let me just say one thing,” began Rubio. “It is one thing to say ‘I am in favor of the Palestinian cause or I think Palestinians are in charge, should have their own country.’ It’s one thing to say that. It’s, I think it’s a bit naive at this point, but it’s something that can be a position.”
He continued:
It is another to say, ‘And I’m going to take to the streets at the beck and call, at the specific instruction of the group that just butchered a bunch of babies.’ Okay? Those are two very different things. It’s disturbing to see it internationally. It’s really disturbing to see Americans and people here in the United States of America in the streets marching in response to a call from the organization that just carried out these atrocities. I think that’s very disturbing to see that play out.
Another rally held in Times Square on Sunday drew widespread condemnation for its celebration of the Hamas’ attack on Israel.
