Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), the first Muslim elected to Congress, responded Monday to recent comments by a GOP colleague who promised to hold hearings on the "radicalization" of American Muslims next year.

"What about the guy who flew a plane into the IRS or what about the guy who killed a guard at the Holocaust museum?"
