Muslim Democrat Removed from Harris Event Demanding Explanation
One of the states that Harris must win if she wants to win this election is Michigan.
Without the Blue Wall, her path gets very difficult, and she may have just blown any chance she has of winning the state.
According to reports, a former Democrat candidate who is Muslim was removed from her recent campaign event, with no reason given.
Oops
Ahmed Ghanim, who primaried Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) unsuccessfully, was at the event Harris was holding with GOP turncoat Liz Cheney.
While sitting at his table, having already passed through Secret Service checks, he was singled out and asked to leave the event by the campaign, with no reason given.
Ghanim stated, “After being seated and sitting there for minutes, a lady comes to me singling me out of this 200 people, and taking me out, and asking me to leave.
“I was not given any explanation. Even the Secret Service, they told me, ‘It is not us, it’s the campaign.’ They don’t have anything security wise against me, just the decision came from the venue and from the campaign.”
Ghanim has been very critical of the administration and its stance on Israel, but he was adamant that he had no pro-Palestine swag on during the event.
The Harris campaign responded to the report with a very weak apology, stating, “Our campaign regrets this action and its impact on Dr. Ghanim and the community, and he is welcome at future events.
“We value our relationship with the Muslim American community and are committed to ensuring all community and political spaces are welcoming and respectful to every American.”
There are at least two concentrated efforts in Michigan among the Muslim community to block Harris from winning the state, so this is not going to help her case.
There are approximately 200,000 Muslim voters in Michigan, so this is more than enough to swing this state in Trump’s favor if they just sit out the election. If they vote for Trump, it is game over.
Rex Nazarko, AMEEN Action’s executive director, was livid, saying this just proves that Democrats are not taking their concerns seriously, stating, “But when it comes to real action, to genuine community engagement, we are ignored, dismissed, and, as this incident shows, outright pushed aside.
“This is about a pattern of disrespect towards Muslim Americans that we are no longer willing to tolerate.”
That removal was more than likely done because they knew who Ghanim was and they did not want him to disrupt the event by protesting for Palestine.
That removal, however, may have just cost Harris the entire race.
If Trump wins Michigan, he only needs to split Nevada and Arizona (Trump is currently ahead in Arizona and tied in Nevada), and win Georgia and North Carolina (Trump currently has a small lead in both states).
I am still not ready to make my call, but I am definitely leading toward a big night for Trump.
