GOP Rep. Andy Ogles sparks backlash after saying Muslims 'don't belong' in America [View all]

A Republican congressman from Tennessee declared on social media Monday that "Muslims don’t belong in American society," prompting backlash largely from Democrats.

"Pluralism is a lie," Rep. Andy Ogles continued in the bigoted post on X.

Democratic politicians swiftly condemned Ogles and his post, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York calling Ogles a "malignant clown."

"Disgusting Islamophobes like you do not belong in Congress or in civilized society," Jeffries wrote on X.
