In the exchange between Sen. John Kennedy (Louisiana) and Arab American Institute Executive Director Maya Berry, the Republican badgered Berry, parroting much of the same racist bigotry that is causing the current rise in anti-Arab and Islamophobic violence.

After a short establishing question, Kennedy opened with, “you support Hamas, do you not?”

As the crowd bristled, Berry said, “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 effective way.”

Ho. Lee. Shit. This racist, redneck, bigot still has a job representing Louisiana?? That needs to change.

As an American, I had no clue what a "sundown town" was, but I do know how far American media will go to obfuscate Führer Drumpf's outright racism and bigotry.

For the uninitiated:

"A sundown town is one that forbade Blacks, by ordinance or otherwise, to live in it. Many of these places, including Cullman, posted signs to the effect of 'Whites Only Within City Limits After Dark,' sometimes with far less sanitized language."

Same! Quit today. The most awkward conversation the rep couldn't manipulate. Good fucking riddance.

My brother in Christ, use AdGuard or something. That screenshot hurts my soul.
