We have a similar situation in our area with an openly Islamophobic GOP politician. We have followed her to events and protested her open hatred.
Now, she calls herself the victim, and we are her oppressors.
Poor, oppressed racists.

I weep for all the misunderstood racists.

(38,687 posts)3. Hallandale Beach commissioner under fire after anti-Muslim comment
"Commissioner Mike Butler released a statement stressing the city's diversity.
"Hallandale Beach is a city that celebrates diversity and enjoys the benefits of it. To say that someone might be a terrorist because they're Muslim is just plain wrong. People of all faiths are welcome here in Hallandale Beach," Butler said.
Hallandale Beach is home to Baitful Naseer Mosque and a significant population of Ahmediyya Muslims.
"We have a really active Muslim community in Hallandale Beach who are always present at city events always working so hard to inspire cultural awareness." Vice Mayor Sabrina Javellana said."
