AOC Says Muslims Singled Out For Terrorism Label

May 17, 2019

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) said at a House hearing Wednesday that Muslims who commit mass murder were described as domestic terrorists, but white supremacists are “almost immune” from that label.

“I could not help but feel and see that attacks committed by Muslim Americans were almost automatically labeled as domestic terrorist incidents,” AOC said, “yet white supremacist shooting after shooting is not, and I can’t help but come to the conclusion that what’s being labeled as terrorism is almost exclusively coming down to the identity…

“It seems as though white men invoking white supremacy and engaging in mass shootings are almost immune from being labeled domestic terrorists,” she added.
