People have gotten fired from their jobs for clearly less than what Randy Fine and Andy Ogles said about American Muslims and yet they all just defend these two disgusting hateful assholes
The modern Republican party was *founded* on bigotry. Towards Muslims, immigrants, black people, Latinos, Q+ folk…
It’s not a shameful thing they’re ignoring for political reasons, it’s a core pillar of their philosophy.

The “Muslims want to impose Sharia law” is so funny because there is a religion making active efforts to transform the USA into their own twisted version of a theocracy and it is not Islam.

I went to a Trump Rally in 2016 and he slandered the honorable service of General Pershing. He was Governor of the Philippines for a time, and dealt with a Muslim minority group that resisted imperial rule.
Trump told the completely fabricated story that General Pershing combatted Islamic terrorism by ordering 100 clerics rounded up and his men executed all but one of them. They collected the bullets, gave them to the last man, and Pershing released him saying, “go and tell your people what happened here…”
Trump ended the story, “that’s the kind of leadership America needs today!!!”
Being very young and immature I did a lil social experiment on my way out the venue. I offered ten people high fives “kill all Muslims!” 10/10, only one woman looked even a little confused. (I regret doing this but it was for the data I swear).
The Republican Party is extremely bigoted and extremely violent, and have publicly celebrated both for may, many years now.
FFS the General Pershing story isn’t even true! Pershing’s family begged Trump to stop telling it but truth be damned, the violent, bigoted tale gets a massive round of applause and doesn’t that make it all worthwhile?

[This whole thread besides Gimenez’s comments were depressing to read](https://xcancel.com/LisaDNews/status/2031462039848165448#m)
[And Ogles continues to double down even though his district has a few thousand Kurdish Muslims in it](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2F459csxqiecog1.png%3Fwidth%3D554%26format%3Dpng%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Dda57272b5f15c49fb31f3ef608b4050f7f009362&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=Enough_Sanders_Spam&utm_content=t1_o9v5khu)
The GOP is not blind to Islamophobia, it is an Islamophobic party and the article makes that clear. It’s a good article but I really dislike the title
Also why are we just publishing archived links especially when there isn’t even a paywall. https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/11/politics/anti-muslim-bigotry-republicans
