Where this statement fits
Should Republican leaders condemn Loomer's call to raid mosques with military force?

Mehdi Hasan criticized the remarks and argued that anti-Muslim rhetoric receives less scrutiny. Loomer stood by her proposal and urged the GOP to listen. The dispute concerns whether Republican leaders should condemn that advocacy.
