Republican 2024 Candidate Stumbles on Question About Uyghur Muslims

  • Francis Suarez, the GOP mayor of Miami and 2024 presidential candidate, appeared to not know what Uyghur Muslims were during a radio interview.
  • The Chinese government has detained over a million Uyghurs, a Muslim minority group, in "re-education camps."
  • Suarez's lack of knowledge on the issue was criticized, as China's treatment of Uyghurs has been an ongoing human rights concern.
  • GOP politicians and presidential candidates have condemned China's actions against the Uyghurs and called for sanctions.
  • Suarez later claimed he did know about the Uyghurs but was confused by the interviewer's pronunciation of the word.
