[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The law said Muslims can’t hold high office. Not that they can’t vote.[/quote]

It's the McCarran-Walter act, not Warren, and this is an old Facebook meme that was debunked when it first emerged in 2018:

It was an immigration bill; it was a pretty bad one, it imposed some very racist quotas on national origins and also blocked people over sexual orientation and political views (this being the 1950s), but it did not even purport to ban Muslims from public office or even, for that matter, from immigrating to the US.

(it would in any event be horrifically unconstitutional - literally even before they added the Bill of Rights they put "no religious tests for public office" in Article VI)[/quote]

Got it. So the Mamdani crew is lying and acting irresponsibly again. Shocker [/quote]

Huh?
This was a post from an anti Mamdani poster saying they wanted to see this act reinstated. And they clearly believed it meant no Muslims.

Look, you’re probably trolls but if you aren’t, shame on you. Shame. [/quote]
