Selma Blair Faces Backlash For Islamophobic Comment On Video Slamming Rashida Tlaib
HuffPost
The "Cruel Intentions" star has deleted the remark, which sparked condemnation from the Council on American–Islamic Relations.
Selma Blair is under fire for an anti-Islam comment she posted on Instagram last week.
The “Cruel Intentions” star is one of the latest American actors to weigh in on the Israel-Hamas conflict, claiming that Islam has “destroyed Muslim countries” and then destroys “minds” in the United States.
Blair made her remarks under an Instagram video that slammed U.S. Reps. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) for voting against a bill with the stated goal of preventing immigration into the United States by people “who participated in or otherwise facilitated” Hamas’ October attack on Israel.
Tlaib said the bill was “unnecessary” because it would be “redundant with already existing federal law.” She also characterized it, along with three other bills related to immigration, as “inciting racism that puts our immigrant neighbors at risk.”
Blair did not agree, as indicated by her viral and since-deleted comment.
