George Latimer on the LWV Debate to Rep. Bowman: “Your constituency is Dearborn Michigan”.
Dearborn has the largest Muslim population per capita of any city in the US.

What’s at stake in the

primary? This.
George Latimer quotes from the last 10 days:
- "Your constituency is Dearborn."
- "You don’t mention people who are not Black or brown."
- "The reason why I used Dearborn, Michigan is not because of the Islamic presence there."
- "Does he have an obvious ethnic benefit? Yes."

Latimer would rather throw young people out in the rain than answer questions from the “large group” of people who have concerns about his MAGA donor base.
