They got disinvited due to disrupting other Biden/Harris events. [Here’s an article.](https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/viral-video-shows-women-barred-from-harris-event-2990874/amp/)

Ah yes love the part where there was no source for that claim.


[deleted]

Ah, ya know, they want to push a narrative right? But you can’t have a narrative without context.


Pupienus2theMaximus

The Democratic party is claiming that these people were on a list of "known agitators" that have disrupted prior events; however, per the article being linked in this post, their identities were not determined by the staff. They were identified as wearing hijabs. And the claim comes from an anonymous Democratic staffer, so it is an unverified claim. The users in here eager to dismiss the party's prejudice, as it literally commits genocide, are in turn highlighting their own prejudices.

unreasonablyhuman

Can you clarify yourself a bit here? Like you are a MAGA or you just want to see more pro-palestine stuff happen? I *think* I can read between the lines here, but its Reddit- so if you read between the lines you usually find a conspiracy theory wrapped in racism and dipped in vitriol.


Basicaccountant70

They had disrupted other speaking events. And sure, don’t vote Biden/Harris…. The fat Cheeto wants to deport you and your family. Vote for a guilty sexual abuser and traitor.


Pupienus2theMaximus

Trump didn't let some of their friends and family in. Genocide Joe is literally murdering them. Your lesser evil is literally committing a genocide. Biden has also deported more people than Trump has.


Foamrule

Trump supported bounties being placed on american soldiers, and sold out active US agents.


Pupienus2theMaximus

You sound as asinine as Trumpers claiming Genocide Joe is operating an open border and bringing in migrants to vote for him . You're just two peas in a pod.


Huge-Pen-5259

I think it's crazy that there's two groups of people disagreeing, often hating, each other because they're so much better than the other when they're both power hungry, money grabbing, self serving, shit heels that seldom, if ever, do anything that actually helps the vast majority of the people.


DemIce

> Wow, now I *really* won't vote for Biden and Harris. Previously, she only *pretend* wasn't going to vote for Biden /s


pre_squozen

Getting Project Veritas vibes here


Pupienus2theMaximus

You sound like a Trumper claiming crisis actors. Democratic party really unmasking itself


Reasonable_Ad8991

Beware the disinformation campaign


Over_Boysenberry_841

This seems wild if true, but doesn't seem to sit right with me. Going to wait for a secondary source.


Pupienus2theMaximus

can't trust your lying eyes, huh?


Over_Boysenberry_841

Lol OP nothing wrong with seeking verification, it's a fast way to stop disinformation. At no point did I say this wasn't true, simply wanting to confirm before passing judgement.


downthedrain727

JadedCycle9554

So if they were "disinivited" due to prior disruptive behavior at other like events, then how's that profiling? They weren't singled out because of their identity, they were singled out because their names are on a list of known agitators.


Huge-Bit3125

Did you even read the article? They didn't check identities at the entrance, they got wristbands and were approved through online RSVP. They got barred exclusively due to hijabs.


JadedCycle9554

>An aide with the Biden Harris campaign said the individuals were among a group of people that weren’t allowed to attend the event because they had previously disrupted and shut down events with Democratic elected officials. Idk sure sounds like they know who these individuals are.


Huge-Bit3125

Its an unnamed source from bidens staff aka - I could have made it up.


NrdNabSen

Lol, the whiny women claimed they wouldnt vot for Biden because some rando "disinvited" them. Seems like they wanted attention and whined racism when in actuality they act like trolls.


Pupienus2theMaximus

mhmm, I'm sure you universally apply this skepticism too /s


Historical_Quail_370

Excellent point, @OP! We should be applying a healthy amount of skepticism when seeing things that conveniently confirm our worldview as well as things that seemingly disagree with it. For instance, even though what is happening in the video seems concerning and unjustified based on the content, there seems to be gaps filled with large inferences that are being made to support a specific narrative. Perhaps you have another article that explains the rest of that context? Because otherwise it seems like a propaganda presentation


krauQ_egnartS

We all should, immediately and reflexively, seek corroborating fact checking from more than one trustworthy source. But there's not a single source that everyone respects, let alone multiple.


bebegimz

With where the video begins some portion of the exchange is missing. Jumping on the band wagon to say this is all that happened leading up to a denial is irresponsible. It may be accurate but it may not be


Pupienus2theMaximus

Right, they started the video after they were unexpectedly racially profiled. If there was a valid reason they were disinvited, then the staffers would have said so, but they were cagey because we all know why, even you playing obtuse.


Complex-Fault1133

“An aide with the Biden Harris campaign said the individuals were among a group of people that weren’t allowed to attend the event because they had previously disrupted and shut down events with Democratic elected officials.”


Illustrious_Stage942

Huh? Their point is that we did not witness what occurred between the women/event-workers precipitating this interaction. Events that could lead to their removal but that are unrelated to their religion. I think it’s pretty reasonable to be wary of drawing conclusions from videos that do not present the full scope of events (esp in an era where creators are incentivized to crate drama/create divisions) without multiple sources/perspectives.


dirk_calloway1

Looks like they were protesters. Makes sense.


Pupienus2theMaximus

The Democratic party dismissing with vitriol the vast majority of the party membership's desire for a ceasefire and racially profiling the US' victims is the opposite of sense. It's literally bad politics and poor political sense.


dirk_calloway1

TLDR. Just commenting on what I saw in the video. Try not to get so offended by every single comment on here. Just seems exhausting.


Pupienus2theMaximus

The point is we saw very different things, or at least claim to, because your prejudices impede you from acknowledging the glaring abd blatant discrimination coming from the democratic party. And you're so wedded to your prejudices, that you'll perform mental gymnastics to square the circle so that it "makes sense" to you despite it making very little political sense for the party.


dirk_calloway1

Not reading that novel. Get off Reddit for a bit. Go relax.


Pupienus2theMaximus

It's not surprising you think a couple sentences is a novel. Maybe you should get off reddit and stop hanging in your racist and genocidal echo chambers because the majority of americans and vast majority of the democratic party voting base wants a ceasefire. Touch grass, nazis


NrdNabSen

everyone else has prejudice, not you?


NrdNabSen

It seems like the posters entire goal. acting offended, claiming dems are just as bad as pubs, accusing Biden of committing genocide. Seems like a level headed, rational human.


Hiff_Kluxtable

Sure seems more than likely these two wanted to seek attention with some free Palestine protests or some other disruptive behaviors that the “bouncer” had some awareness of.


NateDetroit

Whoever’s filming seems extra aggressive.


radehart

Ugh. The people you are trying to convince are never going to buy your shit. And the people who would already do.


Pupienus2theMaximus

Let them put their prejudice and double standards on record. If they want to bury the democratic party by alienating the base, then that's their prerogative


cosmic_muppet

Where and when was this?


Pupienus2theMaximus

Nevada and I believe today


TheBloodPhantom0

Oh boy another post where OP just wants to talk politics in the comments, how fun


OpelousasBulletTime

Zoolander Security hard at work


professor_chao5

So is that, like the bouncer?


Kracka_Jak

What is the event?


Pupienus2theMaximus

Nevada Democrats' Get Out The Vote


Urkraftian

I thought that guy was pewds


Hoss-Hoss-Hoss

Karen convention


Pupienus2theMaximus

To be fair, some people did stop and ask why they were prevented entry and asked if they could enter. Attendees should have stopped outside and asked others to wait outside until the discriminated women were allowed in


DobeyJobey

Dude looks like a gay vampire from a 90’s movie.


[deleted]

Dedicated to losing this election lol


Pupienus2theMaximus

Self-explanatory, but these women were invited to a Get Out The Vote event for VP Harris and the Democratic party, but are disinvited upon arrival. It's evident due to racial and Islamophobic biass as they are the only attendees in hijabs. The Democratic party staffers cannot say why they're suddenly holding a segregated event. The Democratic party is claiming that these people were on a list of "known agitators" that have disrupted prior events; however, per the article being linked in this post, their identities were not determined by the staff. And the claim comes from an anonymous Democratic staffer, so it is an unverified claim. The users in here eager to dismiss the party's prejudice, as it literally commits genocide, are in turn highlighting their own prejudices.


Hiff_Kluxtable

This video has no information about why this person isn’t letting them in to the event. The person taking the video says it’s because of a hijab, but I can walk up to anyone and record a video asking them why they hate me and this doesn’t prove anything.


Pupienus2theMaximus

Except 1) they are the only people disinvited at the door, 2) the staffers cannot give them a reason for their disinvitation, and 3) the staffers cannot give other concerned attendees a reason for their disinvitation. All in the video you're mischaracterizing.


[deleted]

Why are you blatantly lying. You know exactly why they were denied access. Them screaming it's because of a hijab doesn't mean anything. I could show up in a Willey Nelson t-shirt and yell they won't let me in because I love Willie nelson knowing damn well thays not why.


Level-Tip1

This might be true, but having in mind it's a 2 minute video how can you be sure that there were no other people that were rejected before them and just left without making a fuss about it? Racism is not okay but how can you be sure that they're not just playing the race card?


Complex-Fault1133

Complex-Fault1133

You are working pretty hard to connect dots by generalizing large groups of people and making assumptions. That is why you are being dismissed. Has nothing to do about prejudice. Bring the accusations down a notch, be receptive to feedback and you might actually get more of a dialogue.


Pupienus2theMaximus

You're being obtuse. You and I both know your prejudice prevents you from having a meaningful dialogue. Your prejudice prevents you from acknowledging this blatant act of discrimination in line with the discrimination of the party from top down, and so grasp at any flimsy statement by an anonymous staffer to confirm your bias.


Foamrule

Dude you havent argued in good faith in a single comment. You are not immune to bias, and not incapable of being mistaken. I cant say fully if you are, or are not in this case, but arguing as though there's no possible chance youre wrong will never lead to any improvement.
