Right-wing talk radio host Michael Savage visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art recently and was shocked to discover that several Muslim women were similarly enjoying the museum’s cultural offerings, he reported on Friday.
After praying that the U.S. will soon “get a president who A) loves America and B) changes everything in America back to the way it was” and that the country will “stop bringing in haters of America,” Savage said he was “perplexed” to see “a fair number of women in burqas or head coverings” during his recent trip to the museum.
“I asked myself, why are they in this citadel of Western civilization?” he said. “Their culture stands opposed to Western civilization, they seem to hate Western civilization, what are they doing here? I didn’t understand it. What are they walking around a museum for if they hate everything about Western civilization?”
Savage continued: “You come to America as a tourist, you’re wearing a headscarf or a burqa and you look like you’re from the deep part of that culture that you’re portraying with your chattel bondage, why are you in a museum that represents Western civilization at its finest? What are you gaining from this? And if you like it so much, why don’t you join Western civilization instead of frowning upon it?”
