“We’re talking about Americans now. Jake, we’re talking about Americans that have been captured and taken hostage, by the brutal Hamas terrorists. I said the better part of two weeks ago, Jake, that if I was president, I would have already been on the phone with the Joint Special Operations Command, I would have given orders for Delta Force and the Navy SEALs to be prepared to work with Israeli Defense Forces to engage in hostage rescue and then I would have told Hamas that you have 12 hours to turn loose every American, every Israeli hostage or we’re gonna come and get ’em.” – Mike Pence, speaking to CNN’s Jake Tapper.
If I were President we would have made it clear to Hamas: you let all the American and Israeli hostages go, or we’re coming to get them. pic.twitter.com/mvxIB9eZ5w
