GOP's anti-Muslim display likening Rep. Omar to a terrorist rocks W. Virginia capitolThis discussion thread was locked as off-topic by DonViejo (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum). Angry arguments broke out in the West Virginia statehouse on Friday after the state Republican Party allegedly set up an anti-Muslim display in the rotunda linking the 9/11 terror attacks to a freshman congresswoman from Minnesota. One staff member was physically injured during the morning's confrontations, and another official resigned after being accused of making anti-Muslim comments. The display featured a picture of the World Trade Center in New York City as a fireball exploded from the one of the Twin Towers, set above a picture of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, who is Muslim. "'Never forget' - you said. . ." read a caption on the first picture. "I am the proof - you have forgotten," read the caption under the picture of Omar, who is wearing a hijab. The display was set up as part of "WV GOP Day," which the party advertised on Facebook as a day when "Republicans Take the Rotunda."

1. That, right there, as done by an elected figure should be considered criminal.

6. I'm boycotting West Virigina as much as possible.
I will not visit and I will avoid doing business as much as possible with any companies based out of West Virginia.
