Later the same day, Lawler expressed gratitude for the return of individuals from an undisclosed situation while criticizing Hamas.

May these images serve as a stark reminder to the UN and all the other Hamas apologists around the globe of just how horrific Hamas truly is."

He criticized certain members of the Biden Administration for ignoring antisemitism on campuses and highlighted ongoing investigations into four schools by civil rights officials.
