GOP Rep. Andy Ogles Says 'Muslims Don't Belong in American Society'

Rep. Andy Ogles linked his Islamophobic remarks to a violent rally and bomb attempt, amid ongoing investigations into extremist acts targeting NYC's Muslim mayor.

  • Andy Ogles, a Republican congressman from Tennessee, posted on social media that “Muslims don’t belong in American society” after a New York protest incident being investigated as ISIS-inspired terrorism.
  • Ogles also suggested that the U.S. Department of Justice deport Zohran Mamdani, the naturalized citizen and mayor of New York City, while Republican leadership had not publicly responded to the comments.
  • The congressman, who has previously advocated restricting immigration from Muslim-majority countries, faces a primary challenge but has Donald Trump’s endorsement and is considering a Senate run if Marsha Blackburn’s seat becomes available
  • Ogles isn't the only Republican openly using anti‑Muslim language, with recent examples including Rep. Randy Fine's last month post and past remarks by Rep. Lauren Boebert, Sen. Tommy Tuberville, and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
