John, this is unacceptable.
An incumbent Republican Congressman just unleashed a vile, Islamophobic smear against Ilhan—calling her a terrorist in broad daylight:
And this isn’t even the first time he has spewed his violent bigotry. He has attacked Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib with Islamophobia in the past and has even called for Gaza to be destroyed with nuclear weapons.
Comments like these not only endanger the few Muslim leaders in Congress, but put a target on the backs of every Muslim in this country, including the ones Rep. Fine represents in Florida.
This rhetoric isn’t just bigoted—it’s dangerous. We’ve seen where this kind of dehumanization leads. It’s not just words. It’s incitement.
All because Ilhan dared to speak out—because she’s calling out Trump for welcoming war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House with open arms.
And for that, they’re trying to silence her with hatred, lies, and threats. We can’t let this stand. Not now. Not ever.
Ilhan needs to know we have her back in this moment of crisis—not next week, not tomorrow. AIPAC may be gearing up to spend millions to unseat progressive champion and Squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar next year, so we need your support right now.
Thank you for standing with Ilhan when it matters most.
More soon,
Justice Democrats
