      If you believe the campaign, it’s because they were ‘disruptive’ at other campaign events. It sounds like they are trying to make it about them wearing a hijab.

        If you watch the video of them whining at the staffer who kept them out, it’s full of gems:

        1. They claim Islamophobia is a kind of racism; presumably you could blow their mind by showing them a white Muslim, a black Muslim, and an East Asian Muslim hanging out.
        2. They casually assume the staffer is LGBTQ based on their lisp.
        3. They loudly claim to be wearing hijabs, but never point the camera at themselves, so there’s no evidence they have hijabs on.
        4. As you highlight, it’s them insisting they’re being excluded due to their hijabs. The staffer never explains why (and it’s self-evident from the video that this is because they’re being too confrontational, so the staffer decided to check out of the conversation rather than engage - when they ask, it’s disingenuous and inflammatory).

        There’s an absolute shitshow of a news and politics sub I’m on where the chief mod posted the clip of this on Twitter, as if that qualified as news.

      They were barred because opposition to the genocide every centrist has always wanted is unwelcome in Biden’s party.
