“Americans know that blaming a group of people based on the words of a small few is wrong. That’s exactly what can lead to Islamophobia and anti-Arab hate, and it shouldn’t happen to the residents of Dearborn – or any American town,” Biden posted on X. “We must continue to condemn hate in all forms.”

“This is a direct result of the inflammatory @WSJ opinion piece that has led to an alarming increase in bigoted and Islamophobic rhetoric online targeting the city of Dearborn,” Hammoud posted on X.

“Dearborn is a vibrant community full of Michiganders who contribute day in and day out to our state.,” said Whitmer [on X, of course – rr]. “Islamophobia and all forms of hate have no place in Michigan, or anywhere. Period.”

    Actually pretty insane that the WSJ would print this shit. Murdoch is just straight up wilding in his old age, must be getting worried that he won’t actually get to start a race war before he dies.

      Respectfully, I don’t know if any of your conspiratorially-minded insights hold water. I think editor Emma Tucker might have a say in what’s published. I also believe Mr Murdoch doesn’t have a hands-on, day-to-day interaction with the WSJ unless it involves his fortune and I have a feeling Dearborn, MI isn’t exactly financial “Ground Zero” for News Corp.
