A Tennessee Republican made an anti-Islamic post on social media Monday morning in the wake of an incident being investigated as "ISIS-inspired terrorism" over the weekend in New York.
"Muslims don't belong in American society," Rep. Andy Ogles posted. "Pluralism is a lie."
Ogles has made his thoughts on Islamic immigration known in the past, and later Monday he suggested the Department of Justice deport New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is a naturalized citizen.
