A group of top Democrats and Michigan Democratic Party lawmakers have downplayed their ties to a radical Imam who eulogized Iran's deceased Ayatollah Khamenei, praising his 'death to America' vow during a memorial service. The Imam, with alleged extremist views, was linked to the Democrats by Fox News. Despite this, many top Dems and Michigan lawmakers refused to comment or distance themselves from the Imam due to fear of being 'labeled as Islamophobic'. However, some Democratic officials were quick to criticize Republicans for drawing attention to the Imam's anti-American rhetoric.
