welcome back to hannity. president obama spent the last nine days vacationing on the luxurious island of martha s vineyard, chaos on the streets of egypt continued and fighting between the government and supporters of ousted president mohamed morsi escalated raising the death toll to nearly 1,000. tonight according to egyptian security officials, the supreme spiritual leader of the muslim brotherhood was just captured and he ll go on trial later this month for killing protesters of the brotherhood back in june. while many lawmakers on capitol hill are urging the president to address the violence and cut off more than $1 billion of u.s. aid we give to egypt each year, senator john mccain had this to say about the situation. we have no credibility. we do have influence but when you don t use that influence, then you do not have that influence.
which was responsible for removing the brotherhood. do you agree with the president on those things? i think that you have really hit the issue right on the head and one question is what kind of aid will we continue to send? don t forget that president obama already cutoff several f-16s last month. it s not exactly right that he s been sitting on the sidelines. he s been starting to cutoff aid. that s something that one of the leading republican senators said was look at tiered approach to aid. he s cut off those f-16s last month. there s an upcoming question about some apache helicopters. but he sent to mohamed morsi, this is a guy that refers to israelis as descendents of apes and pigs sending him f-16s, tanks and $1.5 billion in aid. don t you think that was dumb? and you actually predicted, sean, that morsi, the brotherhood would win and morsi
he supported the muslim brotherhood and supported morsi. he gave f-16s to him. you and katie both said that obama was supporting the morsi brotherhood. he gave them $1.5 billion. but think about the muslim brotherhood is a secular organization. as soon as muslim brotherhood came in, christians were persecuted at a higher rate. obama let it happen. i m going to say that you and obama agree about this. he shares your feelings about the brotherhood. they were democratically elected and as americans one of our prime goals is to spread democracy. there was a revolution in egypt in which the egyptian people pushed mubarak out and elected the brotherhood. he pushed out mubarak. there was no plan b. the people of egypt went into tahrir square
