"The stage played host to speakers from every other walk of life—including multiple Republicans and a top executive at Uber—but a Palestinian speaking about the situation in #gaza even with a party-vetted speech, was just too much for the DNC. The Uncommitted movement had proposed Georgia State Rep. Ruwa Romman and you can read what she would have said here." via ryan grim

in reply to malena • • •"Rep. Romman and #Uncommitted organizers both confirmed that this was the speech she was planning to give if allowed for a potential 2-minute speaking slot. Uncommitted said they were open to the speech being edited and vetted. They said the #DNC did not ask to see the speech."
2 MINUTES! They could not give 2 minutes to a #Palestinian - American Democrat?
Shameful. Stupid. Counterproductive. And heartbreaking.
