Arguments broke out in the West Virginia statehouse Friday after the state Republican Party allegedly put up an anti-Muslim display featuring the 9/11 terror attacks and Rep. Ilhan Omar, a freshman congresswoman from Minnesota.
. By the end of the day she had submitted her resignation"effective immediately," officials said.
The outrage continued on the House floor, where Del. Mike Pushkin, a Democrat, took aim at the display.according to WVNews ."Not in the country that I love. Not in the state that I love. We all give up our time during this time of year to come up here and serve our constituents because we love this state. Well, I love everybody in the state no matter what they look like, who they pray to, who they love. I'm tired of it. It disgusts me."
Pushkin, who's Jewish, added,"I'm proud to live in a country that somebody can come into this country with absolutely nothing and wind up in the halls of Congress representing the state of Minnesota.""As we began today’s floor session, we had a series of incidents occur in and outside of our Chamber that absolutely do not reflect the character and civility the people of this state demand of their public servants.
In later remarks on the floor, Hanshaw said an unidentified staffer had been injured during the confrontations, but gave no other details."I bluntly struggle with what even to say," he said."We have allowed national level politics to become a cancer on our state . . to invade our chamber in a way that makes me ashamed.
