Leopards Are Now Feasting On Somali Faces [1]

In early 2017 President Trump issued an Executive Order banning travel from several countries including Somalia:

This was known by many people as the Muslim Travel Ban.
On his first day in office President Biden revoked this travel ban:

Hamas launched an attack on Israel called Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, 2023. Israel responded with a massive counterattack on Gaza. This had political ramifications not only in the Middle East, but across the rest of the world including in this country. Many Muslims supported voting “uncommitted” in the 2024 primaries. They subsequently decided to form the Abandon Biden movement and said they refused to vote for Biden in the 2024 election. When Biden dropped out and Harris became the Democratic nominee they became Abandon Harris and vowed not to vote for her either.
One of these individuals was a man named Jaylani Hussein:

Jaylani Hussein moved to the United States from Somalia in 1993. He has since become a fairly prominent member of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
Jaylani Hussein supported the Abandon Biden movement even if it meant Trump winning the election:
In October 2024 he told people to vote for Jill Stein:
Jaylani Hussein, a co-founder of the Abandon Harris campaign, told MEE that there are a number of good third-party candidates that match their policy priorities. However, the major factor in endorsing Stein came as a result of ballot access. Stein is officially on the ballot in 38 states that together hold a total of 437 electoral votes - 270 electoral votes are needed to win the presidential election. "Our first viable option in the independent parties is the Green Party due to their ballot access," Hussein told MEE.

Jaylani Hussein was downright thrilled by the results of the election:
Jaylani Hussein is the founder and co-chair of the Minnesota chapter of the Abandon Harris campaign. He said that the results of the election are what they were expecting. “It is beyond worth it,” Hussein said. “We warned the Democrats. We said this was going to happen, and it did happen.”

Fast forward to this week and Trump has now issued a new and “improved” travel ban covering even more countries than last time:

CAIR is absolutely furious over this new travel ban:

I assume that these folks will beg (or more likely demand) that bleeding heart liberals rush over to the airports and protest this new travel ban. Unfortunately for them I am not going to do it this time. I am no longer a bleeding heart liberal. I am now a FAFO liberal. If they were so stupid as to actively sabotage Harris and endorse Stein, then they can ask the Green Party for help. Maybe Jaylani Hussein can explain to his fellow Somalis why it was a “brilliant” idea not to support Harris in the 2024. The only folks I feel sorry for are the leopard. They are practically being force fed faces at this point.
