Yeah, it felt like stepping into Gaza, right, for a moment.

It didn't feel like America. Didn't feel like America. Felt like stepping into Gaza. His casket was wrapped in a Palestinian flag. There was not just sadness at his funeral, but a deep sense of anger. At the funeral, some of his family members shouted out, Joe Biden, you did this. Joe Biden, you did this. And, you know, I remember

The next day, it was right after the funeral, looking at the front page of CNN and the story of Wadir was buried in the last section. And it was right over all these meaningless ads. And I thought to myself, that's it. Like, if this was an Arab man, let's be real. Let's be honest here.

If this was a Palestinian landlord that stabbed a six-year-old Jewish boy to death, this would have gotten more attention. It would have been the front page of the news. And rightfully so, people would have grieved. over the insanity of stabbing a six-year-old boy 26 times. Wadir became an afterthought the very next day. And so it's an extension of the bigotry, an extension of the racism.

The Muslims have, they are who we thought they were, right? That's what it is, they are who we thought they were. They went and they stabbed a synagogue president. It turned out it wasn't a hate crime, although it's an awful crime. It turned out it wasn't a hate crime. Wadir is an afterthought. I had people reach out to me afterwards, expressing condolences.
