Islamophobia Is Trump’s Closing Midterm Gambit

“Trump's anti-Muslim remarks about Abdul El-Sayed at a recent rally in Michigan are astonishing—even by recent standards,” David A. Graham argues. In The Atlantic Daily, he explores the damage of the president's bigotry: 🎁 www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

They say that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, but President Trump and his allies have found a new low: open bigotry against Muslims. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

“…the only time that members of Congress have had to pass through metal detectors in the Capitol was on the House side, as a security precaution after Trump supporters sacked it on January 6, 2021.” www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/... Everything is projection: it’s MAGA that’s a terrorist group.

Traitor #Trump has no problem taking funds from #Muslims for his grifting activities, but he doesn’t like them in the #US. Pure racism! www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

“Republicans have been assisted by allies in the press, including Bari Weiss, the editor in chief of CBS News, whose staffers complained to Semafor that she is disproportionately focused on candidates such as El-Sayed because of her own views on Israel” www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

From The Atlantic: “If Abdul and the Democrats win, they will open the floodgates and invite hordes of jihadists to our shores, creating a nightmare of violence and terror until you cannot even have a Christmas.” JFC, who writes this rhetoric, anyway? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Someone has a lot of intense thoughts about what would happen if this ONE muslim senator was voted into office. MI has 2 whole senators, but if this one guy gets elected, apparently he'll overrule the other 99 senators & wreak havoc across the nation. Shocking! www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
