Where this statement fits
Should Republican leaders condemn Loomer's call to raid mosques with military force?
Laura Loomer advocated military raids on mosques and mass deportation of Muslims during an August 14 broadcast. 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.
