    "The meeting… featured about 40 Arab American leaders, Grenell, Trump’s son-in-law Michael Boulos, and Boulos’ father, Massad Boulos…. Grenell came off as unsympathetic to the plight of Palestinians while actually angering some participants by reiterating a comment from Trump’s other son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who said in March that Israel should remove Palestinians from the valuable ‘waterfront property’ in Gaza.”

    Said one attendee: “He repeated Jared Kushner’s statement about beachfront property, which I think floated like a lead balloon in the room.”

      I would be pretty confident taking this meeting was only a signal that they’re open to other factions. If the democrats don’t start doing something, they don’t automatically have their support… At least, that’s the idea. They effectively do automatically have their support because of how horrible the MAGA side is, which sucks.

    I am amazed they believe him about the Muslim ban. When he gets elected he will enact that within 3 month.

      That’s a hell of a sales pitch. Help elect a Republican and that Republican MAY not ban the people practicing your religion.
