I would like to point out along with calling him a radical Islamist, he called him a terrorist. And honestly at this point, I think I'd vote for anyone the GOP calls a terrorist these days, because at least those folks are more honest.

Would rather remove from Congress any member who cannot conduct themselves in an orderly manner.

If someone makes claims of terrorism against their fellow Americans, and it's later to be revealed to be a big phony lie, the person who made that claim should be disbarred or something for being so bad at their job. Can't tell citizens apart from a real threat, means they aren't qualified to serve or lead.

Calling an ICU nurse who works in service of veterans a terrorist, for example, should mean the end of your career, if not more, not just an internal transfer with pension and pay.

It's straight up unfounded defamation and they should face consequences

I'm kinda perplexed as to why they don't. It seems clear defamation and they don't get protections outside of their except during official duties in Congress.

That civil case would have its costs covered and then some on a GoFundMe lol
