The Kamala Harris campaign kicked out a prominent Muslim Democrat from the vice president’s rally in Royal Oak on Monday, further driving a wedge between the Democratic Party and Arab and Muslim Americans.
Ahmed Ghanim, a Democrat, says he accepted an invitation to the event and was seated in the Royal Oak Music Theatre when a campaign organizer ordered him to leave.
“She took me to the door, and she closed it, and I found two police officers waiting there, and she said, ‘You have to leave right now,’” Ghanim tells Metro Times. “I asked why she was kicking me out. She wouldn’t answer. I was very calmly asking why I was being kicked out.”
This article lavishes praise on Trump with little mention of his stated policy positions towards Muslim Americans and Palestinians.
Oh, Trump’s stance on such subjects is utter trash. But the fact that he’s actually trying to make the appearance of support is going to matter in Michigan if Harris doesn’t do the same. That sort of ground game matters, especially to low-information voters that aren’t actively engaged in everything going on elsewhere in politics.
Wait, when has Trump, at any point, said anything in support of Palestine or Muslims?
Here’s what he has to say:
Trump says Israel has to get war in Gaza over ‘fast’ and warns it is ‘losing the PR war’

He wants Israel to finish the war quickly. That’s not at all support for Palestinians.
And how is banning refugees from Gaza beneficial to Palestinians?
I’m agreeing with you and was pointing out Trump’s stances that the article failed to mention.
My bad, sorry.
I think that’s /u/Myxomatosis’s point.
Oh I thought he was arguing with me. My mistake, I thought it was weird.
Read the article. He’s been doing things recently. It’s clearly all just a show, but it could have an impact on voting results.
