On Thursday I posted about Congressman Cline’s support for the “SAVE America Act,” based on the ridiculous premise that hordes of noncitizens are illegally voting in US elections despite massive evidence to the contrary.
But that’s not the only imaginary danger that Cline is purporting to fight.
Cline has joined other rightwing Congressional Republicans as a member of the “Sharia Free America Caucus.” (Seriously.) In fact there are no communities in the US where Sharia law is enforced and no serious efforts to impose Sharia law anywhere in the US. But Cline and the other Republicans apparently see political advantage in this anti-Muslim scaremongering.
The caucus is led by two Texas representatives, Chip Roy and Keith Self. Anti-Sharia hysteria has emerged in the 2026 Texas Republican primary campaign.
As Cline surely knows, any attempt to legally impose Sharia law (or Christian law or Jewish law) in the US would violate the First Amendment to the Constitution, which states Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
Meanwhile Cline ignores (or even supports) the real threats to Americans’ health, safety, well-being and freedom imposed daily by the Trump regime.
