Racism is alive and well in the #US Senate:
“Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) on Tuesday baselessly accused an Arab American witness of supporting terrorists during a Senate hearing, and as she called out his blatant Islamophobia, the GOP senator told her to ‘hide her head in a bag.’
Kennedy lashed out at Maya Berry, executive director of the Arab American Institute, a nonpartisan national civil rights advocacy organization …. Berry was the only Muslim witness in the hearing”
