A president's 'jihadists' label for named Muslim officials, endorsed and urged on the whole party.

SeverityHatefulTreats a group as lesser, dangerous, or not fully human, whether it says so about the group or about one person for belonging to it. Everything at this level.

Who it targetsFour named Muslim or Muslim-associated political figures, collectively labeled terrorists based on their religion

TrackProtected groupsProtected-group hate and political-opponent extremism are counted apart, and neither total is presented as a score against the other. Everything on this track.

What was said

Loomer amplified Trump's Truth Social post calling El-Sayed, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib “Jihadists,” and urged “the rest of the GOP to adopt this language.”

Why it counts

Four named officials get a terrorism label with no alleged act behind it, and the post's ask is adoption: making the label a party's standard word for its Muslim opponents.

A president carrying it is what moves this from an account's habit to a mainstreaming event.

"President Trump posted this on Truth Social last night. He is calling the Islamic communist candidates in Michigan and Minnesota JIHADISTS. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Abdul El Sayed are Jihadists. It’s time for the rest of the GOP to adopt this language. Stop calling"
