The head of the Democratic National Committee is encouraging party members in Congress to invite Muslim-Americans to President Obama's State of the Union next month as a rebuke to Donald Trump.
And no, based on Politico's reporting, they don't specifically say it's a rebuke to Trump himself, but it's pretty strongly implied in some of the language they use.
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Congressman Keith Ellison (one of two Muslims in Congress) wrote a joint letter to House Democrats saying that inviting Muslims to the State of the Union sends a message that "we will not be intimidated by fear into discrimination."

I hope Ofail brings a whole platoon of Muzzies to his SOTU address and they all stand up and scream Allah Akbar. :-)

Imagine if one managed to slip in a IED..It would be the irony of ironies.
But of course after the blood and gore was wiped up and the bodies buried, they would just mark it up as another isolated incident.

Imagine inviting Japanese to the SOTU after Pearl Harbor.
I hope lots of Muslims show up in their native garb. It will increase Trump’s poll numbers big time.

You know, it was one thing when Obama was using NASA for muslim outreach when we considered that a foreign affairs issue.
But if you insist that muslims are “more equal” than, say, Syrian Christians in consideration for visas it puts an internal flavor to it. I.e., a First Amendment issue comes into focus . . .

aying that inviting Muslims to the State of the Union sends a message that “we will not be intimidated by fear into discrimination.”

Actually, that would be fairly brilliant ... all the Dems would stand up for applause ... what would the Republicans do? The majority of them would stand as well ...
So what SHOULD the Republicans do?
How about let Trump give the Republican rebuttal LOL !!!!!
That would be a riot !!!
