It seems impossible for our political system to hold the politicians tied to the actual invasion of our Capitol to account, but any random Muslim candidate is reflexively labeled a terrorist.

white status most successful political policy in US history👇🏼 we must, as prior generations have, expand it to all skin tones now @isabelwilkerson.bsky.social: www.instagram.com/p/DB1rjF9yyl... “Measuring White Solidarity” - @jardina.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXq_...
Another example: A 24 year old medical student was quoted in an article about taking out a loan that complied with Islamic law. Now, as a candidate 17 years later, that quote is being used in an ad that claims that El-Sayed wants to impose sharia law on America. bsky.app/profile/citi...

The political ad shorthand is Muslim brotherhood = terrorists, and Muslims = Sharia law for all. But anyone who is not a complete bigot who has spoken about Muslims can have their words twisted. Good example from Mike Rodgers! Of course, he is not held to that standard. bsky.app/profile/atru...
wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!
