Prominent Muslim Democrat Demands Answers After Being Kicked Out of Harris Rally in Michigan

We speak with Dr. Ahmed Ghanim, a prominent Muslim leader and former Democratic candidate for Congress, after the Kamala Harris campaign apologized for kicking him out of a Detroit election event Monday to which he was invited. Harris's staunch support for Israel as it continues its brutal war on Gaza has infuriated many Muslim and Arab voters in Michigan, and while Ghanim says it's a very important issue to him, he was not there to protest. He was also not given a reason for his removal, even after the campaign called him to apologize. "Apology without accountability is not an apology," he says, adding that the incident has left him questioning whether Democrats still believe in diversity and inclusion or if "Muslims and Arabs don't have room anymore in this party."

They only regret it because they didn't know that he had access to press

[blackknght]

Kamala seems to have a history of kicking Muslims out of her campaign.

[wesmaxey]

The fact that kamala is teamed up with the Cheneys should tell this man everything he needs to know.

[dowtube]

Dr Ahmed Ghanim deserves an explanation, an apology and the very least, Candidate Harris owes him a call to allow him to express his opinions, as a reparation for being treated so unjustly. He has shown his utmost loyalty by not selling out to the opposing camp

[LBoytz]

What a stupid move on the part of the Harris campaign. It undermines everything they claim to stand for. Ugh.

[sonnyeast]

Ahh can you smell the democracy, freedom, and joy in the air?

[agathafry]

This interview so perfectly sums up why I hate this election.

[alin-]

This is why I can't vote harris. She is still owned by aipac.

[J-pxug]

If this was a Republican event EVERYONE would be screaming for accountability

[longshank]

Apparently Tim Walz lies too. Saying "This is a party with a WIDE UMBRELLA to include everyone." My ASS

[ethanwetzel]

This speaks volumes about the kind of people behind the Harris campaign

[kevinwilliams]

thanks for this interview. This was unacceptable & should not have happened.

[SoundsOfMotoring]

AIPAC making sure they demonstrate who is boss and whose support they don't want, via active exclusion. Mr. Ghanim's last sentence sums it up.

[FreedomDaveX]

We supposedly pride ourselves as a country of reason and courtesy, yet these cowards don’t even have the common courtesy of giving a reason when asked.

[hangten]

Muslims endorses Trump today at Michigan at a rally. Kamala took Muslims for granted.

[carinagatta]

She literally makes me sick. This is a DISGRACE.

[EsmailLotfi-lc]

Reasonable people would provide reason.

[MarianneExJohnson]

I'm so glad I'm not an American right now. The idea of an election where the choice is between two genocide supporters is horrifying beyond words.

[totonow]

I am so disappointed and sorry that this happened.

[cronizle]

But Dick Cheney is allowed in....

I un-registered as a dem since my first vote in 08. This is not something i want to be even loosley associated with.
