    Those old american politicians. Their last recourse for anything is “They’re not white and they don’t think like me!”.

        Yep, I for one am glad that someone smart and with good politics won the senate primary and that it’s even better to have him be Egyptian American, considering that’s a group that faces discrimination and deserves representation.
