Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim congressman, gave emotional testimony Thursday to a House of Representatives committee hearing on radicalization in the U.S. Muslim community.
Tearfully describing the story of a Muslim-American first-responder paramedic who died on September 11, 2001, Ellison criticized New York Republican Rep. Peter King for leading the controversial hearings that have reignited a national debate over how to combat a spate of home grown terrorism. Muslims in America: Demographics and beliefs "Mohammed Salman Hamdani was a fellow American who gave his life for other Americans," Ellison said, his voice breaking. "His life should not be defined as a member of an ethnic group or a member of a religion, but as an American who gave everything for his fellow citizens."
"This committee's approach to violent extremism is contrary to American values and threatens our security," Ellison said. The congressman tried to hide his tears behind his papers and quickly left the room after his remarks.

Did anyone actually see any tears on that man’s face? I didn’t. The blubbering was all for show.
Would’ve been a good time to waterboard him. Just sayin’!
And this creep is crying.
Go back to Fritz Mondale land you JERK!
If the camel jockey is so distraught, maybe he should return with the goat herders to his "Fatherland".
Gimme a break; these fools stick dynamite up their asses, and we're supposed to NOT confront that mentality due to "racial profiling".
It ain't the Rogue Amish that burn down cities, rob anyone white, or live off others' earnings......
If the death cult members have nothing to hide, then they've got nothing to fear. Isn't that what the Feds are always telling honest Americans?
Think so.
sick perverted bastard.
Go live in Iran and fulfill yourself there.
I couldn't care less. Islam should be outlawed in the US. These people want to overthrow our government and our way of life. Bring back the Un-American Activities Committee.
not buying the act>>>>>>LM
He needs to get crocodile tear lessons from Nanzi.
Even if he were really crying, how many tears has he shed for the other 3,000+ who were murdered that day?
Ellison's buffoonery was painfully embarrassing to watch. No tears, ad the absolute most ghastly acting job ever. The jerk should be laughed out of Congress for that piss-poor fakery.
;-\
A clip of his blubbering was played on the news. Nauseating. They (Islamic fascists/commie dems) have ‘Americans’ pegged as soft and know just how to use our best characteristics against us and this clearly was an attempt to do just that. Hopefully people are hardening their hearts because I can honestly say, mine has turned to granite.
Exactly! I bet he was one of the first to blame America for this terrorist act.
The famous guise of tears, trick #33. Almost as good as laying down and playing dead.
I vood tink it was all smoke and mirrors, so he could escape questioning and perhaps some embarrassing questions about his past and his still current relationships.
If terrorism committed by Muslims had instead been committed by Christians, Keith Ellison, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, and about 1000 other Democrats would be lining up hearings on a daily basis.
F these hypocrites and their Taqqiyah crocodile tears.
He knows that the Muslim population is not the homogeneous group that is put forward.
Until the moderate Islamists develop the courage to discredit and attack those among them who are radical and dangerous and true American enemies, he must be looked upon with disdain.
He has become an an American enemy because of his political and religious cowardice.
