Democrats anonymously target Muslim candidate, questioning his eligibility to run for Michigan governor https://interc.pt/2nvWmR5 by @ZaidJilani

actually im kind of talking about how your story is being framed
Yes I got that. But why won’t the Dems condemn this? And how do you suspect this became an issue? All the people quoted are anonymous Dems. Just concerned citizens?

Also, the candidate himself called it a birther situation. We reported on it. So take that part up with him.

lol okay ryan. i mean... sigh.
-
If it’s so standard, why would nobody go on record? You genuinely think there is a question of whether he should be able to run?
-
I have no idea, but I know the Intercept has a vested interest in making a local dispute that has some real controversy into Democrats don't like Muslims.
-
It is no secret lots of Dem leaders think a Muslim candidate is unelectable in Michigan. That’s distinct from personal animus but a very real thing and a factor in what’s happening here.

Which Dem leaders?

I'm sorry but I follow MI politics pretty closely and I find this disingenuous. It ignores the other candidate entirely, the only one who has been campaigning for months, Shri Tanedar.

I asked a question. How is it disingenuous?
