@cspanofficial: “You support Hamas, do you not?” Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) asked Maya Berry, the head of the Arab American Institute, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday on combating hate crimes in America. “Hamas is a foreign terrorist organization that I do not support, but you asking the executive director of the Arab American Institute that question very much puts the focus on the issue of hate in our country,” Ms. Berry replied. “It’s regrettable that I, as I sit here, have experienced the very issue that we’re attempting to deal with today.” #senate #arabamerican #cspan
