Detroit, October 24 (RHC)-- Kamala Harris’s campaign has said it “regrets” a decision to eject a Muslim American Democrat from a Monday evening rally in metro Detroit, where Harris was joined on stage by Republican former Wyoming Congressmember Liz Cheney. 

Ahmed Ghanim, a Democratic Party activist and former House candidate for Michigan’s 11th District, says he RSVP’d to the event, cleared security and was seated at the Royal Oak Musical Theater when a staffer ordered him to leave or be put into the back of a police car.  Ghanim told The Detroit News he felt targeted because he is Muslim, adding: “I didn’t even have anything like a Palestinian keffiyeh, any signs or a banner, nothing.  None of that is allowed inside.  I guess that’s how the Democratic Party deals with Muslims.” 

This comes as a new poll from Arab News finds Arab Americans are slightly more likely to vote for Donald Trump than Kamala Harris.
