If anyone can be called an extremist scumbag, it’s the senator from #Louisiana!

How many times did she say no?

#Republican #Senator #JohnKennedy accused a leading #Muslim civil rights advocate of supporting extremism during a #Senate hearing on hate incidents in the US, drawing criticism from many rights groups

"You support #Hamas, do you not?" #Kennedy told Arab American Institute Executive Director #MayaBerry, who replied:

"You asking the executive director of the Arab American Institute that question very much puts the focus on the issue of hate in our country."

Text Shot: In a follow-up question, the senator asked, "You support Hezbollah, too, don't you?" He later told her, "You should hide your head in a bag." Berry repeatedly said in her responses that she did not support those groups, and added that she found the line of questioning "extraordinarily disappointing." Islamist militant groups Hamas, which carried out a deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel, and Hezbollah are both designated as "foreign terrorist organizations" by the U.S. government. Multiple rights advocates denounced Senator Kennedy. "It is absolutely reprehensible that a U.S. senator would weaponize the racial identity of a witness and accuse her of supporting terrorism by using an anti-Arab and anti-Muslim trope in a hearing meant to tackle precisely that kind of bigotry," Council on American Islamic Relations Government Affairs Director Robert McCaw told Reuters. "This harassment is alarming," Muslim American advocacy group Engage Action said.
