Actress Selma Blair apologized on Tuesday for Islamophobic comments she made on social media, saying she “mistakenly and inadvertently conflated Muslims with Radical Islamists and fundamentalists, a terrible err in my words.”
Blair was called out for her Instagram comments on a Feb. 2 post by lawyer Abraham Hamra, in which Hamra slammed U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib for opposing a bill to bar anyone involved in the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel from the U.S.
After Hamra called Tlaib a “liar,” “moron,” and “hateful antisemite” in his post, Blair picked up the baton, writing, “Deport all these terrorist supporting goons. Islam has destroyed Muslim countries and then they come here and destroy minds… They know they are liars. Twisted justifications. May they meet their fate.”
