Mike Huckabee, President Donald Trump’s nominee for U.S. ambassador to Israel, predicted that the FBI under Kash Patel will now pursue “real criminals,” telling Newsmax that includes American campus protesters who allegedly were in contact with members of the terrorist group Hamas.

Huckabee joined “Rob Schmitt Tonight” to react to a Times of Israel report that former hostages held by a Hamas terrorist in Gaza are suing U.S.-based People Media Project for allegedly facilitating the coordination between campus protesters in the U.S. and Hamas.

“How nice it is to know that Kash Patel is now running the FBI so that this agency, instead of going after mothers who have shown up at school board meetings to protest things that their children are being force fed, will actually be going after people who hurt others, who create an antisemitism nightmare for Jewish students on college campuses, and who commit violence,” Huckabee said.
