I thought the suit comment was weird. Here's an article that describes that better, but still no explanation for his removal
This is a much better article. Still no one to explain why he was removed. I should think the Harris campaign would want answers and as (I presume) the ones who paid for the event they should be entitled to them.
I hope the pressure stays on to get answers. Until we have them, all we have to go on is that Harris didn't request him removed and says he remains welcome.
Could be someone on her staff. Could be the venue management has some standing beef. Who knows. Could be circling the wagons to cover something up or it could just be disorganized confusion and no one wanting to say something to get themselves in trouble.
This is where we need good journalists.
The good journalists are being killed by Harris and Biden
I hope they dig into why this happened. The campaign apologized, but they need to be able to give assurances that it won't happen again.
“Our campaign regrets this action and its impact on Dr. Ghanim and the community, and he is welcome at future events."
They push them away then demand their loyalty
Yes. Odd this is being downvoted heavily, no?
People downvote things they disagree with or that seem like astroturfing all the time. Nothing odd about that.
What is odd is that no effort was shown trying to determine why he was removed, but blame seems to be cast at Harris. What is odd are some of the quotes. In getting kicked out he said, "I was just in my suit and white shirt."
Was there a question about what he was wearing that went unmentioned? What a weird thing to say unprompted, so I assume there's context to that statement which the article doesn't include. Any reason for that?
It doesn't seem like a great article. It's news. It's worth trying to get to the bottom of. It would be nice to understand who made that decision and what was going on in their head at the time. It would've been nice if the article did anything useful instead of rumor mongering.
This is such a bad piece of journalism I'm not at all shocked it's being downvoted. Not that popular articles aren't poorly written but I guess the headline says what people want to hear. Nature of social media.
5 paragraphs of nothing
And this is what you call irony.
Much like the article, except the article was much longer.
Edit: You are no different. Downvoting and insulting things you don't want to hear. So don't pretend not to understand how this works when you are part of the problem.
You can't even write a song about pirates
I mean... that's a fair criticism.
Why don't both of you get a room? You both obviously share one brain cell. "I'm being downvoted, must be a conspiracy from the LIBURALSSSSSSS".
Might be the same person
Liberals don't like their echo chambers getting disrupted
With the amount of documented effort feds and oligarchs put into astroturfing reddit, Facebook, x, et. al. It's hard to believe they're not doing it on Lemmy
