FEAR mongering going on in the Tennessee Governor race

@tedlieu
One of the things that makes America great is that you can get awesome falafel in lots of places. It's also much healthier than a hot dog.

@BrettKelman
You need to read this. Tennessee cop, assigned to security detail for Democrat gubernatorial candidate, leaks to Republican opposition that candidate went to a “Muslim event,” thinking its a scandal.
The event? A falafel restaurant.

Bastards are playing the trumpty dumpty card of instilling fear in folks of anything that doesn't look/do/eat/practice religion/etc like the Trumpian base does.

This is why I say the anti-Trump Republicans are in denial. They helped create this monstrous Republican Party base of support.

"Some restaurants associated with the thriving Jewish and Israeli community in Berlin also serve falafel." (Wikipedia)

In much of the Middle East and parts of Europe, a parallel to tacos, pita and burgers here.

Just about as dumb as saying hamburgers are Christian......
