WASHINGTON, June 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called on U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and members of the House of Representatives to formally investigate and censure California Congressman Duncan Hunter for publicly admitting to indiscriminately firing artillery at civilians while serving as a Marine in Iraq and posing next to dead enemy combatants in violation of the U.S. code of military conduct.
In an interview for Barstool Sports' Zero Blog Thirty podcast, Hunter admitted to allegedly killing possibly hundreds of civilians, including women and children, by indiscriminately shelling the Iraqi city of Fallujah: "I was an artillery officer and we fired hundreds of rounds into Fallujah, killed probably hundreds of civilians, if not scores, if not hundreds of civilians. Probably killed women and children if there were any left in the city when we invaded. So do I get judged too?"
