The Republican continued to engage with Singh as he walked away, frequently turning back to shout "human scum."

"I do not care, you are human scum," Santos told the man who continued to yell back. "That's what you are, human scum. You have no business in this building defending terrorists!"

In the video that Santos shared with followers, he declared, "nobody defending Hamas has any business in this building, whether you're elected, whether you're a civilian, it is a disgrace that we allow people to parade that kind of thought in here."
