Sarsour responded by saying that Tapper has joined the ranks of the alt-right to target me online. (There is no evidence to suggest that Tapper is a member of the alt-right.) Welcome to the party, she added.

Sarsour challenged Tapper to please share evidence of her ugly sentiments.Unapologetically Muslim? Unapologetically Palestinian? Pro-immigrant? Pro-justice? she asked. Shame.

Tapper responded by pointing to comments Sarsour made about activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who frequently speaks out against radical Islam. Sarsour expressed her desire to take Alis vagina away, saying she doesnt deserve to be a woman. Ali is a survivor of female genital mutilation (FGM) and has spoken out against the brutal practice.

Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza also took issue with Tappers tweets, calling them intentionally inflammatory.

How about being part of a gang that kills a NJ State Trooper? Tapper responded. Is that considered inflammatory?
