“Disgusting.

Hateful.

CT Senate Democrats must immediately remove Sen. Saud Anwar as Chair of the legislature’s Public Health Committee.

And Gov. Ned Lamont should demand it.

This man is a doctor: He is someone supposedly entrusted with protecting health.

Yet, he just posed, with a wide grin on his face, with a sign wishing death upon the President of the United States.

That behavior is frightening, abhorrent, disgraceful, and beneath the dignity of our state legislature.

No one who promotes this kind of vile and harmful rhetoric should ever be allowed to lead Connecticut’s Public Health Committee.

So, will Democrats ignore it?

Or will they remove Senator Saud Anwar as Chair?”
