Personally, I think Islamic activists are going after the wrong person here…. They should direct their anger at pig Bill Maher for having this seditious traitor on in the first place. Kind of funny since CAIR basically got Slotkin installed into office in an election with a late night vote bump (like 2020) that put her over the top of the Republican.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) demanded Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., apologize on Monday for appearing on “Real Time with Bill Maher” because of the host’s “long history [of] anti-Muslim bigotry and anti-Arab racism.”
“Your participation in Mr. Maher’s show came just days after you publicly criticized a Muslim public figure for associating with Hasan Piker, whom you accused of engaging in antisemitism, which he has denied,” a letter from CAIR read. “Meanwhile, Bill Maher has called Arabs dangerous to women, claimed that ISIS accurately represents most Muslims, argued that Islam itself is the ‘problem’ and never apologized or retracted these or other hateful remarks.”
The letter continued, “Given this record, your decision to appear as a featured guest on his platform — without publicly challenging or distancing yourself from his rhetoric — sends a deeply troubling message to your Muslim and Arab constituents. It suggests a double standard in which some forms of bigotry are condemned while others are overlooked or implicitly tolerated.”
