"When our elected representatives engage in this kind of behavior, it's like inviting hate to the Muslim and the Jewish community," said Maggie Slavin, the Operations Manager for CAIR-Chicago.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Chicago), a civil rights and advocacy group, expressed concern for the safety of Muslim constituents, especially as hate crimes have increased dramatically over the past year.

"Given the fact that Chicago has one of the highest Muslim populations in the United States, and definitely the highest number of Palestinian Americans in the United States, I think it's extremely irresponsible and childish," Slavin added.
