'I do not want any type of Muslims': Orange County GOP official condemned for anti-Muslim comments

Mary Young, an Orange County GOP official and volunteer to Donald Trump’s campaign, broadly attacked Muslims in a Facebook post Monday, among other things writing in all capital letters, “I DO NOT WANT ANY TYPE OF MUSLIMS IN OUR COUNTRY, PERIOD!”

largely thanks to the work of Grover Norquist, whose wife is Muslim. After Nineleven(TM), not only did the constant barrage of bilge like this turn Muslims away from the repukes, Norquist himself is now considered a traitor in reich-wing circles.
