The poster, at a table in the capitol's rotunda, featured an image of Muslim congresswoman Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, spliced next to one of the twin towers burning during the 9/11 attacks.
Mike Pushkin, a Democratic member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, told the Washington Post that he was in a morning committee meeting when someone sent him a picture of the poster. He later took and tweeted a photo of it.
The body’s sergeant-at-arms submitted a letter of resignation at the end of the day after being accused of making an anti-Muslim slur during the dispute, according to West Virginia Public Radio and other local outlets. A doorkeeper was reportedly injured in a dispute with a member. Many Republicans got up to speak about the 1st Amendment in response, according to West Virginia Public Radio.“My issue with what I saw outside has to do with another truly American foundational issue, and that’s freedom of speech,” Republican Delegate Dianna Graves said, according to the radio station. “So, while I may not agree with everything that is out there, I do agree that freedom of speech is something that we have to protect, even if we don’t agree with it.
