Michigan Arab and Muslim leaders fuming after second Biden visit this year with no meeting

This is the best summary I could come up with:

SAGINAW, Mich. — For the second time this year, President Joe Biden visited Michigan without any in-person meetings with members of its Arab American or Muslim communities as he faces protests at campaign events and at the ballot box over Israel’s military action in Gaza.

It said Biden would deliver remarks to highlight “the stark contrast between his agenda of lowering costs for Michiganders and Donald Trump’s attacks on working families in the state, including his comments this week promising to cut Medicare and Social Security.”

In January and February, officials from the campaign and the White House traveled to Dearborn to meet with some members of the Muslim and Arab American communities, but Biden himself didn’t join on either occasion.

Several leaders of the community also chose not to attend as they continue to press Biden to engage more directly with them, demand an immediate cease-fire in the war and place conditions on further U.S. military aid to Israel.

There were still protests in Saginaw on Thursday as activists from the “Abandon Biden” movement held a news conference in the town’s center, urging him to support a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war.

It was Biden’s first time back in Michigan since he clinched his party’s 2024 presidential nomination — and since last month’s primary, in which about 13% of voters in the Democratic contest chose the “uncommitted” option, many of them protesting his handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

The Abandon Biden movement and Latinos for Trump both shop at The Men’s Wearhouse. Little known fun fact.
Unions, etc etc, all have to have their ass kissed.
