Tucker Carlson guest: "Ilhan Omar would be perfect as a member of the KKK."
https://www.thedailybeast.com/tucker-carlson-guest-ilhan-omar-would-be-in-the-kkk-if-she-werent-in-congress-3?ref=homeA night after Fox News host Tucker Carlson sparked widespread outrage for claiming Somalia-born congresswoman Ilhan Omar is “living proof” that America’s immigration laws are “dangerous,” a guest of his claimed the Muslim lawmaker would be a white supremacist if she weren’t in Congress.
Lawfare Project founder Brooke Goldstein, who describes herself as a human rights lawyer, was responding to Carlson’s criticism of Omar’s stance on Israel when she made the comments.
“Her remarks on Israel reveal something perhaps about what she believes about the world,” Carlson said. “What do you think those remarks tell us?”
Goldstein immediately went off.
“First of all, this is a woman who called you a white supremacist and the irony there is that if she wasn’t a member of Congress, she would be a member of the KKK,” she said.
Many on social media were quick to question how a progressive Somalian-American Muslim woman could join the Ku Klux Klan (or be welcomed by the white supremacist group).
