Democrats are losing their mind over Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., calling Muslims holding office “a trojan horse.”
The Republican lawmaker made the controversial statement on X Friday, which quickly caught the attention of leftist pearl-clutchers like Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash.
Look:
This is absolutely disgusting and dangerous. Republicans must denounce this blatant Islamophobia.

“This is absolutely disgusting and dangerous. Republicans must denounce this blatant Islamophobia. To Muslim communities across America: I will always stand with you,” Jayapal wrote.
Owen Jones accused Mace of “Islamophobia” as well.
This is a Republican Congresswoman.

We live in a country where the entire political and media class talks about antisemitism every day, conflates antisemitism with criticism of Israel, meanwhile prominent Republican members of Congress are saying this with zero pushback from political or media elites. https://t.co/gfF6dDVGYT

If ANY elected official said this EXACT SAME THING, but said “Jews” instead of “Muslims” they’d be put out of Congress.
They’d never be leaders again.
