motorcade that i was in with the president also took some side streets when we were arriving at the uniontownall to sort of avoid the large protest gathering a few blocks away. not unusual for protestors to demonstrate in front of a president's visit, but it was note who arworthy how the white tried to keep the exact locations of where the president would be more secretive than usual. i think the hope was that he was able to connect with voters, black voters at a black owned restaurant outside detroit and then again in the uniontown hall. but the lack of engagement with the arab community can be problematic as he needs their support to win the very competitive state of michigan. >> the mayor of dearborn, michigan which is home to a major automotive home but also one of the largest arab-american communities in the midwest, he said biden missed an opportunity to engage with the community and that he thinks the president views them just as a voting bloc. take a listen. >> i absolutely he think that it is a missed opportunity. whenever constructive dialogue can happen to help save lives. because
