Sen. Foghorn Leghorn Accuses Witness Of Supporting Hamas, Then Tells Her To “Hide Your Head In A Bag”

The Huffington Post reports:

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, during her testimony before a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing focused on stemming hate crimes. Berry was the only Muslim witness in the hearing.

“You support Hamas, do you not?” Kennedy abruptly asked Berry, referring to the terrorist group behind the Oct. 7 attacks on southern Israel. His question drew audible gasps in the audience.

Read the full article. As you’ll see in the video, Berry was not having it. Watch the full clip.
