- Say that the president is endangering the life of a representative of the Democratic Party, which you ostensibly lead.
- This is spineless and a reminder of why I’m a registered Independent.
- GOP outright hatred & incitement vs Muslims
- Democrats’ cowardly use of the “good Muslim” card: “Muslims are in our armed forces & police”
- Donald Trump was vowing to ban Muslims (which he did via Muslim Ban bs 6 countries)
- Clinton had Kizr Khan and his wife Ghazala Irshad at DNC - parents of a Muslim soldier who was killed in the US war in Iraq. ie Muslims are “good” and fight “our” wars.
Obama left office with the US militarily involved in at least five Muslim countries.
Anyone looks “good” compared to Trump but look closer.
Fuck all of that.
Now that there are 2 Muslim women in Congress you will, as @IlhanMN has said, have to deal
That discomfort is mirror they hold up that forces white Americans - GOP and Dems - to deal with shit they’d rather ignore/handle piecemeal: misogyny, racism, Islamophobia
