Democrats condemn Republicans calling for Muslim ban on the heels of Australia shooting

Randy Fine and Tommy Tuberville, US legislators, face backlash for Islamophobic calls to deport Muslims

Democrats are condemning two Republican members of Congress who said, in the wake of the mass shooting in Australia, that the US should ban Muslims from the country and kick out those who already live here.

Congressman Randy Fine, a Florida Republican, said he not only wants deportations of legal immigrants who are Muslim, but “citizenship revocations wherever possible” of Muslims.
