Kevin McCarthy Warns of Potential Attack on\u2063 U.S. Similar to Hamas&#8217; Assault on Israel<\/h2>\n<p>During an appearance on Meet the Press, Rep. Kevin McCarthy \u200b(R-CA) raised concerns about the \u200dUnited States being vulnerable to\u2064 an attack reminiscent of the recent assault \u2062by Hamas on Israel. McCarthy, who \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/secy-yellen-treasury-may-take-action-following-gamestop-stock-saga\/\" title=\"Secy. Yellen: Treasury may take action following GameStop stock saga\">avoided answering questions<\/a> about his potential \u200breturn \u2063as House speaker, emphasized the gravity of the situation in Israel and criticized the perceived inaction of the Biden administration. He drew parallels between Hamas \u2063and ISIS, describing the attack as a combination of 9\/11 and\u200d the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is devastating,&#8221; McCarthy expressed, highlighting\u200d the surprise and magnitude\u200b of the attack \u2064on a Jewish holiday. He emphasized the impact, stating that \u2062the loss of 800 Israelis is\u2062 equivalent to 30,000 Americans. McCarthy firmly asserted\u200c that the \u2062attack was not only an act of terrorism but also\u2063 comparable to the actions of ISIS. He\u2064 called for the \u2064destruction of Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>To further emphasize the potential threat to \u2063the U.S., McCarthy pointed to a report \u2064indicating an increase in arrests of individuals on the FBI terror watchlist crossing the U.S.-Mexico \u200bborder. He warned that there \u200ccould be a \u2064cell within America capable of carrying out an attack similar to that of Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>The interviewer challenged McCarthy&#8217;s claim, \u2062stating that\u200b he had no\u2064 evidence to\u200d support it. However, McCarthy\u2063 stood firm, providing\u200d evidence of his own. He referred to his previous \u2064visits to the border, where he was\u2062 informed about the apprehension of individuals on the terrorist watchlist. McCarthy criticized the administration for initially dismissing\u2064 his claims, stating that people from 160 different countries are crossing the border.<\/p>\n<p>Despite repeated attempts by the interviewer to steer the conversation towards \u2063McCarthy&#8217;s\u2063 potential return as House speaker, he redirected the focus towards the situation in Israel.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What evidence did McCarthy provide to support \u2063his claim that a\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/israel-didnt-see-a-hamas-strike-coming-the-u-s-could-be-next-mccarthy-warns\/\" title=\"McCarthy warns: U.S. could be next after Israel's surprise Hamas strike.\">potential terrorist cell<\/a> may exist within America\u2062 capable\u2064 of\u2063 carrying out\u2064 a \u2062similar attack \u200dto that of Hamas<\/h2>\n<p><span>  In a \u2062recent interview on Meet the Press, Rep.

While sidestepping questions about his potential return as House speaker, McCarthy underscored the seriousness of the situation in Israel and expressed criticism \u200bover what he perceived as the Biden administration&#8217;s inaction. Drawing\u200d parallels\u200c between Hamas and \u2064ISIS, McCarthy described \u2064the\u2064 attack as\u2063 a combination of the 9\/11 terrorist attacks and the Japanese \u2064bombing of Pearl Harbor.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy\u200d conveyed his distress over \u2063the magnitude and unexpected nature of the \u200dattack, which occurred during a\u2064 Jewish holiday. He emphasized the devastating impact, asserting that the loss of 800 Israelis is equivalent to the loss of 30,000 Americans. McCarthy firmly declared that \u2064the assault was not\u2063 only an act of terrorism but also comparable to the actions of ISIS. \u2064He \u2063called for the destruction of Hamas\u2064 in response.<\/p>\n<p>To illustrate the potential threat to the United\u2064 States, McCarthy pointed to \u200da report indicating an increase in arrests of individuals on the FBI terror watchlist crossing\u200d the U.S.-Mexico border. He \u2063cautioned that there may be a terrorist cell within America capable of carrying out a similar attack to\u200b that of Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2064 interviewer challenged McCarthy&#8217;s \u2062claim, stating that he had\u2062 no evidence\u2062 to support it. Nevertheless, McCarthy\u200d stood his ground and offered\u2063 evidence of his own. He referred\u200b to his\u2063 previous visits \u2063to the border, where he was made aware of \u200bthe apprehension of \u200bindividuals on \u200bthe terrorist watchlist. McCarthy criticized the administration for initially dismissing his claims and highlighted the \u2062fact \u2064that people from 160 different countries are crossing the border.<\/p>\n<p>Despite \u2064repeated \u2062attempts by the interviewer to shift the topic\u2062 towards McCarthy&#8217;s potential return as House speaker, he redirected the conversation\u200b back to the situation in Israel.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion,\u200d Rep. Kevin McCarthy expressed serious concerns about the United States being\u200d vulnerable to a potential attack similar to Hamas&#8217; assault on \u200bIsrael.\u2063 Drawing comparisons to the actions of ISIS\u200d and historical acts of aggression, McCarthy underscored the gravity of the situation\u200b and criticized the perceived\u2062 inaction of the Biden administration. While faced \u2063with skepticism, McCarthy provided evidence to support his claim \u200cand called\u200b for decisive action to address \u200dthe potential threat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
