Rep. Keith Ellison is the only Muslim member of Congress. Today he spoke before Peter King’s hearings about radicalized Islam in America. This is the conclusion of his remarks, he tells a moving story of a Muslim-American being posthumously demonized.

I find it inconsistent that Muslims are oversensitive when leaders paint them and their religion with broad brush strokes, but somehow Christians are victimized when someone says “Happy Holidays” to them in December.
And lest you think that Peter King is just an anti-terrorism crusader, he has a not-so-spotless history in terrorism sympathizing. But remember, inconsistency is a feature, not a bug, in the modern Republican.
