Muslim Congressman Slams Republican Islamophobia on CNN

EXCERPT:

CARSON: "Well, the rhetoric is absolutely unacceptable. First it's DEI, next is black women, then it's black men, then it's members of the Latino community, then it's members of the Arab American community, now it's Muslims. And each week it shifts. Speaker Johnson has had a chance to show that bigotry has no place not only in his caucus but in American politics. Political violence is rising. Hate crimes are rising. Republican leadership has had a chance to calm tensions, and they failed to do so. I serve as a senior member of the House Intel Committee. One of the biggest threats to our country is coming from within our country, domestic terrorism, mainly from white supremacist organizations. And let's face it, this country has a history we cannot ignore, going back to Oklahoma City bombing, to the Mother Emanuel Church attack in Charlottesville, Tree of Life, antisemitism has no place in this country. Islamophobia, anti-blackness, none of these isms, homophobia, none of these isms and phobias have a place in our society. But they're very real and racist tropes and rhetoric that are being promoted by city members of Congress with no repercussions is simply unacceptable."
