Thing is, he's not wrong. I think that a Muslim Democratic primary candidate for Congress in San Francisco, Portland or Seattle would be a lock in a divided field at this point as long as they were reasonably articulate.
This clearly does not apply at the national level but, where the stakes are lower and every Democratic primary voter is "liberal" in a more traditional sense, having more visibility as a "POC" or as a Muslim is clearly an advantage.
That's actually an interesting point.
