Van Duyne Unveils Resolution Denouncing Imam Omar Suleiman Over Graham Death Post

Summary
Beth Van Duyne plans to introduce a House resolution Wednesday condemning Imam Omar Suleiman after he posted that the late Sen. Lindsey Graham should “live an eternity in ruins.”
Suleiman wrote the message early Sunday after news of Graham’s death, tying it to the senator’s support for Israel and the destruction in Gaza.
Van Duyne said she is pressing House leadership to bring the measure to the floor and wants Democrats to back it, noting Suleiman delivered the House opening prayer in 2019 at Democrats’ invitation.
The resolution also cites Suleiman’s past controversial remarks and alleges he defended convicted terrorists, while Suleiman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Van Duyne cast the episode as part of a wider rise in political hatred and used the measure to honor Graham’s long congressional career and support for U.S. allies.
