Peter King Responds To Ilhan Omar After She Attacks Him As An ‘Islamophobe’

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) called out Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on Tuesday for celebrating the New York congressman’s retirement announcement by making misleading statements about his record.

“Peter King is an Islamophobe who held McCarthyite hearings targeting American Muslims,” Omar tweeted after King’s resignation announcement. “[He] said ‘there are too many mosques in this country’ and blamed Eric Garner for his own death at the hands of police. Good riddance.”
