U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) had Democrat architects of America’s ruinous immigration policy howling over his response to New York City’s Muslim mayor hosting a traditional Ramadan iftar at City Hall.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani hosted the gathering while sitting on prayer rugs, eating with his hands as he broke the fast with fellow Muslims during Ramadan, and Tuberville responded to an End Wokeness post noting that the event took place a short 25 years after Islamic extremists attacked the city on 9/11.
“The enemy is inside the gates,” the GOP senator wrote.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), a member of the party that weaponized immigration to “fundamentally transform” America, feigned outrage in a response on X: “This type of Islamophobia is disgraceful and unbecoming of a senator. Delete it immediately and apologize.”

Mamdani would also respond, pushing his socialist agenda while downplaying the inflammatory imagery he knowingly produced, “Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.”

However, Tuberville is not being apologetic.
Instead, on the day that an Islamic extremist screamed “Allahu Ahkbar” before opening fire at an Old Dominion University ROTC class, killing one and wounding two others, he doubled down: “I don’t give a rip about being politically correct. Innocent Americans are being gunned down in the streets almost daily by Radical Islamists whose ‘religion’ teaches them it’s righteous to kill Christians. I won’t be silenced about this.”

Pushing his point further in a counter to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who described his warning as “mindless hate,” Tuberville offered up a sorely needed reminder about radical Islam.
“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,” he posted. “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,” Tuberville added.

The Republican politician also corrected Politico’s reporting, as seen here:
To be clear, I didn’t “suggest” Islamists are the enemy.
I said it plainly. https://t.co/3D6RK9LTbO

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
The notion that Islam isn’t a profound danger to the United States, its culture, and it’s communities will someday be looked at by historians in amazement as they try to ascertain how some people could’ve been so naive or willfully ignorant. https://t.co/NPQJkLUpOe

3 Islamic terror attacks in 2 weeks and Democrats’ biggest concern is “Islamophobia.”
The literal definition of toxic empathy. https://t.co/m8EI1MjXn5

You know what’s disgraceful, ma’am? Importing jihadists so they can kill Christians and Jews on American soil. You are a disgrace. Sit down. https://t.co/7JvnG2qG2N

A phobia requires an irrational fear.
It is not irrational to be wary of groups that want to kill you.
It is called common sense.
Apparently, @SenGillibrand doesn’t have common sense.
