President Donald Trump is intensifying his anti-Muslim rhetoric against Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. He portrayed him during a Sunday rally in Port Huron as a threat to national security and questioned his loyalty to the United States. The remarks drew a sharp rebuke from a former top Arab American ally. Bishara Bahbah, a founder of Arab Americans for Trump, said the president's comments were racist. El-Sayed, who could become the nation’s first Muslim senator, faces Republican Mike Rogers in one of the races that will help determine control of the U.S. Senate in this year's midterms.

A gunman firing from a vehicle in the Paris suburbs has killed one person and wounded at least five others in what French authorities describe as a racially motivated attack. The suspect was arrested soon after the shooting, and France’s National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s office has taken charge of the case. President Emmanuel Macron calls it “a racist terror attack” and says the suspect's statements suggest it was premeditated. The shootings took place over about 15 minutes at three locations in Trappes and La Verrière. Authorities say the victims appeared to be of African or North African origin.

A new video from Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders was standard issue Republican messaging for promoting her state’s stricter rules for people on Medicaid. She said no more could able-bodied people lounge around while receiving taxpayer-funded healthcare. But the decision to portray an unemployed moocher as a young, white, cheeseball-chomping gamer named Brad upset some conservative commentators last week. Five decades after Ronald Reagan popularized the “welfare queen” trope about people living luxuriously while not working, they wanted to know why the video wasn’t featuring a Black woman instead. The debate that streaked across social media was the latest example of how conservatives have recently wrestled with racist views.
