'It's not aid to Hamas': CBS host grills J.D. Vance for opposing funds for Gaza kids

CBS host Margaret Brennan grilled Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) on Sunday after he said he opposed aid to children in Gaza because he insisted it would go to the terror group Hamas.

While Vance agreed that there are "a lot of innocent people in Gaza," he insisted that terrorists would intercept the aid packages.

"So if you deliver a large amount of humanitarian assistance, who's it going to go to?" he asked. "The children in Gaza or to the Hamas fighters on the front line? I fear it's going to go to Hamas."

Brennan pointed out that international organizations like the Red Cross were distributing the aid.

"But I think there's still a lot of evidence with a lot of these international organizations that when we send aid into Gaza, a lot of it goes into the wrong hands," Vance said. "We don't want to basically fund two sides of the exact same conflict. Fund Hamas, fund Israel."

"Well, it's not aid to Hamas," Brennan observed. "It's aid to the Palestinian people."

"And if I could wave a magic wand and give aid to the Palestinian children, I will," Vance quipped.
