William Timmons
Timmons voted for every tracked aid bill and against both amendments cutting it, writing in April 2024 that Biden “catered to the anti-Semitic, woke liberals who believe Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East, does not have the right to exist”. He toured GWU’s encampment with Oversight Republicans.
Timmons has represented South Carolina’s 4th District since 2019. His six recorded votes appear as badges on this card: Yes on all four tracked aid measures, No on both amendments to cut aid to Israel.
His April 2024 statement on the security-assistance package, verified on his site, carries his frame: aiding Israel was essential to "support our allies, oppose the dangerous terrorist group Hamas", and the front quote’s attack on the administration sits in the same release. In May 2024 he joined House Oversight Republicans touring the George Washington University encampment, verified with him named in the committee release, which called on D.C. officials to clear what it described as an unlawful, antisemitic encampment.
His February 2026 social-media praise for joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran is Iran material on an unretrieved news source and stays on the research page as reported, not confirmed directly. A December 2024 commemoration of Omer Neutra, the American-Israeli hostage, sits on his own Facebook account, not yet confirmed. AIPAC’s and the Republican Jewish Coalition’s tracked support appears as badges on this card.
Nothing located has him addressing U.S. aid to Palestinians as a distinct question.
Tracked votes: backed sending U.S. weapons or funding to the government of Israel in 6 of 6 recorded votes.
