Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Ahmed Ghanim said no thanks — but the ejection could be the kind of thing that drives Arab and Muslim voters to Trump.

"I guess that’s how the Democratic Party deals with Muslims. They’re not important to them. ... Maybe the Democratic Party doesn't want people like me and my kind in the party."

If you're going to jump to conclusions and immediately start flinging shit, then yeah... get the fuck out. It has nothing with you being Muslim and everything with you being a shallow asshole.

What did he do? It's not in this article, or any article that i can find online. He said himself he doesn't know why he was kicked out.

I quoted it for you. He didn't ask questions. He didn't get any information. He just started talking out of his ass and smearing an entire group of people and building a bullshit narrative. At most, he could say that his how someone at that venue treated him. He can't say jack shit about all Democrats or all Muslims. He has no such authority and no such knowledge.

Okay, great, you don't like the guy. But that still doesn't explain why he was kicked out of the venue. I'm not trying to start an argument. I was asking a legitimate question you seemed to have some prior knowledge of. If you don't, then why are you commenting?

Did they remove every Muslim from the event? Did Harris or her staff request he be removed? Does he really get to speak for all Muslims? Is that really why he was removed?

My strong hypothesis is that the answer to all of those questions is "no".

Since he's shown a propensity for exaggeration and dishonesty after being removed, it's reasonable to think he did something that caught someone's attention who had the authority to remove him.
