House Speaker Mike Johnson declined to condemn Republican Representatives Andy Ogles and Randy Fine for recent anti-Muslim comments. Democrats and religious tolerance groups have criticized the congressmen's statements, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries calling for disciplinary action. Johnson stated he spoke to the members about their "tone" but believes the issue of potential Sharia law implementation in the U.S. is a serious concern. Ogles posted that "Muslims don't belong in American society," while Fine made inflammatory remarks online, including a statement about choosing between dogs and Muslims. Jeffries has strongly condemned both representatives and urged Johnson to hold them accountable.
