I feel sorry for those who have Mo Brooks as their congressman...

Just as I have Glenn Grothmann as mine.

Prone to putting their feet into their mouth.

GOP Rep: Apologizing For Anti-Muslim Comment Like Apologizing To Germany After World War II

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Thursday, 6/30/2016 2:16 pm

The Alabama chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations asked Republican Rep. Mo Brooks to apologize last week after he said on a radio program that “the Muslim community … if it had its way, would kill every homosexual in the United States of America.” Brooks has refused to apologize, a decision which he explained on “The Dale Jackson Show” on Thursday by comparing apologizing to American Muslims for his comments to apologizing to the German or Japanese governments for stating their crimes after World War II. Islam, he said, promotes "death for a lot of people.”
