Indicted GOP congressman spews racist rant after his morning in court

By Dan Desai Martin - September 28, 2018

Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter said Muslims are 'disgusting,' spouted white nationalist talking points, and tried to link his opponent to Islamic terrorists.

Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) spent his Monday morning in a federal courthouse for a status update on his indictment and his Monday evening spewing racist anti-Islamic nonsense to a room full of supporters.

Hunter spoke to a group of about 70 people at the Intermountain Republican Women Federated, first reported by the Times of San Diego.

“Radical Islamists are trying to infiltrate the U.S. government,” Hunter claimed without any evidence. “You have more Islamists run for office this year at the federal level than ever before in U.S. history.”

Hunter is correct that a record number of Muslims are running for office, but his claims of radicalized Muslims seeking to infiltrate the government is based on racism, not reality.

Hunter did not try to hide his animosity toward Muslims, at one point declaring, “They are disgusting.”
