“Racist.Islamophobic.Disgusting.Republicans just want to Make America White Again,” Democratic Sen.Ed Markey of Massachusetts declared in aposton X. 

“This is mindless hate,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer asserted in aposton X.“Muslim Americans are cops, doctors, nurses, teachers, bankers, bricklayers, mothers, fathers, neighbors, mayors, and more.Islamophobic hate like this is fundamentally un-American and we must confront and overcome it whenever it rears its ugly head.”

Tuberville shared Schumer’s post anddeclared, “Calling Radical Islam out for being a CULT doesn’t make you an ‘Islamophobe.’ Radical Islamists chant ‘death to America’ and would love to see every Christian and Jew murdered.Under Sharia Law, if you are not a Muslim, you are the ENEMY.Under Sharia Law, minorities are PERSECUTED.Under Sharia Law, women are SOLD, RAPED, and TRAFFICKED.Don’t believe me??Read it for yourself!Radical Islam is NOT compatible with the Constitution and has NO PLACE IN AMERICA.I won’t be silenced about this.”
