FWIW that video is heavily edited, and the campaign released a statement that a group, including those women, were refused entry because they were disruptive at previous events.

Now, I think Kamala and Biden deserve the protests, and they should be doing something, anything, to end the genocide in Gaza.

But it's a political rally. If you protest at one of these, they're not going to let you into the next one. It has nothing to do with your religious headwear or islamophobia or sexism or terrorism. Claiming discrimination when there isn't any is disingenuous and counterproductive. It lends credence to the people who dismiss legitimate complaints of discrimination.

Ah, should’ve stuck to “free special zones” or entered nonsense they’re calling it now.

How do you tell that the video is heavily edited?

I watched the version in the article.

This is very much US-internal news.

Looks like we’re going back to the widely accepted Islamophobia from the early 2000s. We have learned nothing.

Did we ever leave those days?

We forgot for a while because the zeitgeist went back to the geopolitics of "Russia and China bad".

Been a lot of going backwards as of late.

Everything we were told Trump will do, Biden is doing. Including cutting financial support to the UNRWA.

This is the future if Trump becomes the president.
