Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles faces backlash for claiming Muslims don't belong in America, sparking national concern over rising Islamophobia.
Tennessee Republican Congressman Andy Ogles drew widespread condemnation after claiming on social media that "Muslims don't belong in American society," sparking backlash from Democratic leaders and civil rights advocates.
His remarks, made amid a violent anti-Islam protest in New York City, followed a pattern of Islamophobic statements by some House Republicans, including calls for Muslim bans and deportations.
While Democrats demanded accountability, Republican leadership, including Speaker Mike Johnson, offered no public response.
Ogles, a member of the hard-right Freedom Caucus, has previously advocated for restricting immigration from Muslim-majority countries.
The incident reignited concerns about rising religious intolerance in U.S. politics and the lack of consequences for inflammatory rhetoric.
