Inflection Point: Biden Administration Must Pander to the Muslim Vote
by Clare M. Lopez
March 2024
Topping the list this month has to be the Biden administration’s desperate outreach to Michigan Muslims in a must-win state it fears he may lose over his support of Israel. In early February 2024, Biden’s White House sent a clutch of senior officials to Michigan to listen to the foreign policy demands of Muslim voters there. No evidence the Biden admin’s groveling swayed any of Michigan’s Muslim electorate, but its shameful public appeasement certainly showed our ally Israel – and the rest of the world, friends and enemies alike - what its pledges of friendship really mean.

- [Editor’s Note - A former French President expressed support for Israel, but retracted it after one of his ministers pointed out the fact that France has a lot of Muslim residents and expressing support for Israel was no longer smart as a matter of domestic politics. It appears the Democrat Party in the U.S. has reached the same inflection point.]

- And it wasn’t just a “HAMAS supporter” – Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer met with one Osama Siblani who has openly declared his support for HAMAS, Hizballah and other Islamic factions whom he calls “freedom fighters”.

- President Joe Biden offered no pushback as Jordan’s King Abdullah “denied and denigrated Israel’s legitimate, lawful right to exist” and “made false claims about Muslims being denied worship rights in Jerusalem”. The worst might have been Biden’s and Abdullah’s joint call for yet another Arab Muslim terror state – the so-called “two-state solution”.

- This is a follow-up on an earlier story about how President Biden threw his long-time assistant, Kathy Sang-ok Chung, under the bus to avoid blame for highly classified documents that were packed up as he left the Vice President’s office in 2017. Questions about her role in mishandling boxes of documents containing top secret files have been brushed off and Chung has retained her security clearance and remains in a sensitive Pentagon position.
