During a Senate hearing on hate crimes, Sen. John Kennedy confronted Maya Berry with accusations of supporting Hamas, exemplifying rising Islamophobia and anti-Arab sentiments.
Berry articulated her stance, stating, "Hamas is a foreign terrorist organization that I do not support. But you asking that question... puts the focus on the issue of hate in our country."
Kennedy's line of questioning, which included repeated support inquiries regarding Hezbollah, was met with Berry's disappointment, emphasizing that she does not support any violence.
Despite Berry's clear rejection of violence, Kennedy’s insistence on his narrative further highlighted the concerning trends in public discourse surrounding race and religion.
