Gallinger Claims Conservative Blogs Attack Him for His Muslim Faith

Irvine City Council candidate Todd Gallinger claims conservative blogs have been attacking him for his religion.

While Gallinger finds that faith issues do not play as much of a prominent role in local politics as they do in national politics, he said he has been verbally attacked because of his faith.
"When I first started becoming involved in local politics, one of the very first things that came out from the Republican conservative blogs was attacking me for being Muslim and for doing work with CAIR and other Muslim groups," he said.
*****
