GOP senator insults Arab American advocate: ‘Hide your head in a bag’

Sen. John Neely Kennedy used a hearing about hate crimes to accuse Arab American Institute Executive Director Maya Berry of supporting terrorists.

The Washington Post
#Republican Sen #JohnNeelyKennedy of #Louisiana questioned #ArabAmerican Institute Exec Dir Maya Berry during a #Senate #Judiciary Cmte hearing, asking her whether she supported #Hamas, #Hezbollah or #Iran as she repeatedly told him NO. Berry tried to explain how assuming that an #Arab #American would support a foreign #terrorist organization or state was an example of the kind of thinking [#racism] that leads to #HateCrimes but was repeatedly cut off by Kennedy.
