Two women have accused the Biden campaign of discrimination and Islamophobia, claiming they were denied entry to a public event in Las Vegas due to their attire.
The allegations surfaced in a video shared on Platform X, where the women stated they were barred from attending a 'Get the Vote Out' event on January 27. The women asserted that they were singled out because they wore hijabs and were not granted access to the event despite having received invitations.
The video footage depicts an event staffer permitting others to enter but not providing an explanation as to why these two women were denied entry. According to The Guardian, when another attendee inquired if the women could be allowed in, the staffer replied, "No, I'm sorry."
Ammar Mousa, a spokesperson for the campaign, stated on Platform X that the women were disinvited from the event because they had previously caused disruptions and staged protests at other events involving elected officials from the Democratic party.
