GOP Senator Tells American Arab To 'Hide Your Head In A Bag'
During a Senate Hearing on the rise of hate crimes, Senator John Kennedy ended his own hate-filled display by telling the Executive Director of the AAI, a Muslim woman to "hide your head in a bag."
I've seen some vitriolic questions before in congressional hearings, but I have never seen a Senator stoop so low and hateful to a woman who was calm and thoughtful and tried to be cooperative.
Talk about hate crimes, Kennedy just committed one on Maya Berry.
Laura Loomer would have given him a standing ovation and maybe something more after his disturbing performance.
Throughout the serious topic, Republicans were petulant microbes only interested in denouncing college students.
Sen. Kennedy was by far the worst offender. Using his Yosemite Sam accent, right off the bat asked Berry if she supported Hamas.
"Senator, oddly enough, I'm going to say thank you for that question because it demonstrates the purpose of our hearing today in a very abstractive way," Berry replied.
Kennedy would hear none of her calm and thoughtful answers and just spewed more hate.
KENNEDY: Let's start first with a yes or no.
BERRY: Hamas is a foreign terrorist organization that I do not support, but 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.
KENNEDY: Well, I got your answer and I appreciate it. You support Hezbollah too, don't you?
