LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON — The three Muslim members of Congress said in a joint statement Tuesday they were “horrified” by a Republican proposal to expel Palestinians from the United States. In an echo of former Donald Trump’s infamous “Muslim ban,” last week Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.) introduced a bill that would bar Palestinians from traveling to the U.S. and revoke any visas issued to Palestinians in the U.S. since Oct. 1. “I don’t have any malice against the Palestinians per se,” Zinke told HuffPost on Tuesday, before the Muslim lawmakers put out their statement. Last month in Illinois, a 6-year-old Palestinian Muslim boy was killed in an alleged anti-Muslim hate crime after his landlord stabbed him and his mother in their home.
