Antisemitic Muslim bigot objects to being called a terrorist

A fight broke out in the West Virginia statehouse after Republicans displayed a poster that tied Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) to the 9/11 terror attacks. Omar is one of two female Muslim members of Congress in the U.S. House of Representatives.

A Democratic delegate shared an image of the poster on his Twitter account.

“This poster is in your Capitol on a booth sponsored by @WVGOP,” tweeted Delegate Mike Pushkin (D-Kanawha). “When someone shows you who they are, believe them,” he added in quotes.

“I expressed my disgust about something like that, that really, I believe, points out a hatred and a mistrust of somebody because of their religious background, because of their religion,” Pushkin said in the statehouse.

“While I may not agree with everything that is out there, I do agree that freedom of speech is something that we have to protect,” said Delegate Dianna Graves (R-Kanawha).

Rep. Omar denounced the poster in a tweet that connected the poster to a report of a man who was caught allegedly planning attacks on media figures and politicians.

“No wonder why I am on the ‘Hitlist’ of a domestic terrorist and ‘Assassinate Ilhan Omar’ is written on my local gas stations,” she commented. “Look no further, the GOP’s anti-Muslim display likening me to a terrorist rocks in state capitols and no one is condemning them!”
