Of course. It happened when Shahid Buttar was falsely accused of sexual assault.

Of course. It happened when Shahid Buttar was falsely accused of sexual assault. As someone who has worked on how sexual assault is covered my entire life, since I was abused at 5 and my family was on Oprah over it in the 80s, my aunt was among the first women to be arrested protesting this stuff, Ryan just went and covered a false story. He knew it was false. And he left it up with out correction for months. It is Islamophobic for a few reasons—if it were a white man it would not have been the process but because Muslim men are stereotypical misogynists they jumped to conclusion it was true instead of doing the vetting I have seen done of any other white man that was accused of same thing. But it also helped contribute to Islamophobia in that every male that has ever run for Congress who is Muslim has been falsely smeared a sexual predator. So it keeps them out of running. And it also contributes to a lack of representation that leads to current war we are in now and people like Tlaib getting censured. It is not about one individual but a systemic problem that creates the atmosphere for attacks on Muslim communities.
