Republican Lawmaker Posts, Deletes Anti-Muslim Diatribe
[su_gootxtbelow]
Maine State Rep. John Picchioti decided quickly that what he posted on Facebook was not for public consumption.
“Have you ever been to a Muslim hospital, heard a Muslim orchestra, seen a Muslim band march in a parade, know of a Muslim charity, ever seen Muslims shaking hands with a Muslim Girl Scout, or ever seen a Muslim Candy Striper volunteering in a hospital?” read the post on state Rep. John Picchioti’s Facebook page. “Have you ever seen a Muslim do much of anything that contributes positively to the American way of life?”
Picchiotti, who serves on the state House Insurance and Financial Services Committee, deleted the post by Friday evening, but a screenshot was posted elsewhere online:
