Dem. Congressman-Elect Hamawy Avoids Answering if Iran Is America’s Adversary

‘We pushed them into a fight’

EXCERPT:

BROWN: "Do you see Iran as the adversary and Israel as an ally to the U.S.?"

HAMAWY: "Well, now what I see is that we were pushed into this war by Israel. It's not helping Americans. Americans didn't ask for it. It's illegal. It's immoral. And at this point, I think the United States and the Iranians want this war to end."

BROWN: "Do you see Iran as the adversary?"

HAMAWY: "I see -- we pushed them into a fight. And so, I think we both have to step back and say, is this helping either one of us?"

BROWN: "But are they the adversary?"

HAMAWY: "We're making adversaries when we should be making friends."

BROWN: "They've been saying 'Death to America' for decades."

HAMAWY: We've been saying 'Death to Iran' for decades as well. And so, what we need to do is use diplomacy -- "

BROWN: "They've killed a lot of Americans."

HAMAWY: “And we've killed a lot of them as well.”
