Rep. James Clyburn (S.C.), the Democratic whip and a prominent member of the Congressional Black Caucus, made some appalling remarks in an interview with The Hill on Wednesday.
The following are excerpts from The Hill article:
Clyburn came to Omar’s defense Wednesday, lamenting that many of the media reports surrounding the recent controversy have omitted mentioning that Omar, who was born in Somalia, had to flee the country to escape violence and spent four years in a Kenyan refugee camp before coming to the United States.
