(Jerusalem Post) The head of a Muslim advocates group has condemned conservative talk show host Tucker Carlson for accusing US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of being “living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country.”
Scott Simpson, public advocacy director of Muslim Advocates, said in a statement on Tuesday that “Tucker Carlson’s latest rant on Rep. Ilhan Omar is a dangerous escalation of his anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant rhetoric. These remarks are part of a clear pattern of racism, sexism and white nationalism that Carlson has long championed.”
Carlson, speaking on his Fox News show, noted that Omar is “a warning to the rest of us that we better change our immigration — or else.” He stated multiple times that Omar “hates” America, and is encouraging immigration from places “whose values are simply antithetical to ours.”
