This kind of discrimination is a trifle when you have to cover up a genocide.
To Americans, twenty thousand Arabs dead in the Middle East is nothing compared to a minor but blatant violation of civil liberties of two American citizens
There is a certain phenomenon though… a cop can shoot a black person for no reason and they’ll all just pretend there was a reason and not punish the cop at all. Meanwhile a cop can get caught on camera being like “lol yeah dude, I hate black people so much” and it’s actually more likely they’ll get fired. Even though it’s a thousand times less bad than murdering someone for their race, it’s bad in a sort of undeniable way. They don’t have the cover of some life and death crisis, so they just fire them.
I don’t think that’s totally true. A lot of libs would be upset by this, but would support Isreal. They probably wouldn’t care enough to not blue, but they’d care more about not appearing islamophobic while they support a genocide
I dont think there was this much deliberation. On the campaign’s side you probably have people telling organizers to watch out for potential troublemakers, because they want a smooth event. A few layers below you have the people on the ground making the decision on which individual to let in and which to weed out and they aren’t gonna deliberate much about the pro’s and con’s. They were told to watch out for potential troublemakers, they see a woman with a hijab, and they have to decide whether they want to risk someone protesting the president on live TV or have twitter mad because of the racial profiling.
And they’d rather have twitter mad over racism than have the president look bad on live TV.
Stupid? Sweaty they’re preventing obvious Russian shills from trying to undermine Biden’s campaign by pointing out what he’s doing is genocide being uncivil
How stupid are they? Are they seriously that out of touch?

I imagine the fallout from twitter getting mad means less to them than the fallout of liberals seeing opposition to Biden by minorities on live TV.

The people who don’t care about Palestine certainly won’t care about domestic Islamophobia

I dunno man, Biden’s approval ratings are rock bottom I don’t see how this helps him
