Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley blasted Secretary of State Tony Blinken for downplaying the possibility that $6 billion in funding released to Iran may have allowed the country to support Hamas terrorists.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley blasted Secretary of State Tony Blinken for downplaying the possibility that $6 billion in funding released to Iran may have allowed the country to support Hamas terrorists.

Haley made the comments during a Sunday appearance on Meet the Press, reacting to Blinken's own statements earlier in the day. Blinken had argued that the U.S. has "yet to see evidence" that Iran supported the attack, and he insisted that the $6 billion could not have contributed to terrorism.

“I actually think it was irresponsible for Secretary Blinken to say that the $6 billion doesn't weigh in here. I mean, let's be honest with the American people and understand that Hamas knows and Iran knows they're moving money around as we speak because they know $6 billion is going to be released. That's the reality,' Haley said.

"To think that they're not moving money around is irresponsible," She continued. "They hate Israel. They hate America. They are going to continue to use this. It was wrong to release the $6 billion."
