Republican Representative Brandon Gill threw a fit over a clip posted on X of journalist Mehdi Hasan pointing out America's freedom of religion clause applies to all religions-and then doubled down on his own bigotry. On Tuesday afternoon, Gill quoted a post from far-right account End Wokeness showing a video clip of Hasan pointing out that American Muslims have a right to play their call to prayer from mosque loudspeakers, just like Christians do to ring church bells. The Texas representative then accused Muslims of moving to the U.S. "en masse" to "fundamentally transform the landscape of American public life."
