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.”
I’d be inclined to agree with you and give her, and the Democrats, the benefit of the doubt if this was an isolated incident. It’s not, there’s a pattern here, and this was just the most recent one.
Okay. I think we’ve probably taken this discussion as far as we can given what information we have now. I hope you feel I’ve acknowledged and respected your position. I hope you can respect mine. Have a good night.
Fair. Have a good night as well.
