Town Hall Attendee Bursts Out Laughing After GOP Congressman Warns About ‘The Ottoman Empire’
A town hall attendee burst into laughter on Tuesday after Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-OK) warned about the second coming of the Ottoman Empire and the implementation of Sharia Law in the United States.
During the chaotic town hall – which saw Brecheen be booed, heckled, and confronted throughout – the congressman claimed:
There is a massacre and a genocide happening by the Muslim Brotherhood and everybody’s focused on Gaza, but the same ideology that Israel has to be around and co-exist with, that will come to America. We’ve got Sharia Law trying to be set up in America today. Absolutely we do. You have Sharia Law trying to be established in America today. The Muslim Brotherhood– the Muslim Brotherhood is the ideology and you’ve got a Turkey president– Guys, we cannot go turning into chaos. We’ve been really good to each other today. Turkey has a president who has made statements relative to re-establishing the Ottoman Empire.
A man in the audience burst into laughter as Brecheen continued, “And [Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan] wants to be– he wants to be the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, and so we have to make sure that what is happening in the Middle East, that we’re not getting focused some place and letting Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood play victim.”
After a woman in the audience began to shout at the congressman, he snapped, “Ma’am, you’re being rude. You’re being rude.”
As others in the audience began to join the noise, Brecheen protested, “People, you’re falling into the Muslim Brotherhood trap to be focused in one area and not see the genocide that is happening in Syria. I’m sorry that other people have chose to turn what was a really good civil meeting into a chaos.”
Brecheen’s remarks were ridiculed on social media.
“Huh?” reacted Democratic strategist and Fox News contributor Leslie Marshall, while Meidas Touch editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski mocked, “I’m now totally freaked out that the Ottoman Empire is coming back to impose Sharia Law on America. I thought the west defeated them outside the walls of Vienna in 1683, but it appears they are back.”
