  1. America is Religious Freedom, And freedom FROM BEING forced Any Religions.

  2. Ban Quran, ban Islam

  3. Bcz He Not Wish Christmas To American Christian

  4. I heard it was because he was a cat lover.

  5. Racist FBI agents.

  6. Biden is the biggest racist ever installed as President. His track record of racial comments, racial voting and close friendship with his mentor Robert Byrd says it all.

  7. Muslim is a religion not a race, get it right people.

  8. He doesn't identify as a transmuslim

  9. This better be a mistake!!! This is a Republican move to set up our President and whoever was in control of that list!!

  10. Almost every headline is either about race or something to do with Trump 😂

  11. The inflection has made it threw the White House! Manufactured list of the paid contributors and the sellouts who follow!

  12. So wrong. Mayor for 17 years but still on terrorist watch list. How does this make sense?

  13. Muslim are crazy don't be fooled let them get power bin are life are ruined period

  14. We are supposedly a democratic country where all men are equal. Unfortunately this is another blatant case of racism and discrimination.
    He is an elected official who is the mayor in our county yet the White House and secret service consider him to be a security risk.
    So much for being an inclusive Democratic president.

  15. A: Did you attend the muslim event with the muslim figures yesterday?
    B: No, I think they didn't let me in because I'm muslim…. I feel targeted and profiled.

  16. He should be denied entry to the United States. "Suit wearing jihadi."

  17. What is the WH doing ? Joe please get your head out of your A and get to work ! AND pandering for votes is not work.
    Do you even know what work is ? My Dad called your kind slouches, I tend to agree

  18. A name alone can put a person on a watch list. No need to do anything but exist. If the name is the least bit similar to someone else who did anything stupid or harmful, signs you up to be watched. It sucks for some but safe for others. Catch 22…🙄

  19. Better safe then sorry

  20. It was a Muslim celebration. There were other Muslims who were already inside when you got there. You can't call it "islamaphobia." It's YOU.

  21. Looks like they're finally paying attention.

  22. They didn’t denied him to enter the paradice and not a big deal.

  23. TRUMP, what an incompetent sweetheart.

  24. Wow this is crazy. They found nothing! Witch hunt overload

  25. we should keep all muslims out of the usa

  26. Let's go Biden and Harris get to the bottom of this and fire anyone who is to blame for this nonsense
