We're already not doing great with Muslim voters, and the polls aren't looking great either, so what should we do? Oh yes, create an even bigger rift between us and the people who's votes we need. Brilliant. jokermala

In a statement late Monday afternoon, the Harris campaign didn’t say why Ghanim was removed but said he’s welcome at future events.

“The campaign was swiftly informed by Emgage Action of yesterday’s incident and looked into it,” the statement reads, referring to a Muslim American advocacy group. “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.”

They are so bad at this hahaha
