Weronika Rogowska, an anti-immigrant woman of Polish origin living in the US, targeted veiled women she photographed at a market by sharing them on social media with the words, "If Abdul El-Sayed wins, they will settle here and have more children, choose Michigan wisely."

Weronika Rogowska, an anti-immigrant woman of Polish origin living in the US, shared a photo she secretly took of veiled women in a supermarket on her social media account and made racist and discriminatory statements.

'WE WILL LEAVE MICHIGAN,' SHE SAID, TARGETING THEM

Rogowska, who secretly photographed veiled women shopping at the supermarket, expressed in her post her discomfort with the increase in the Muslim population. Referring to a possible election victory by Democratic politician Abdul El-Sayed, Rogowska used the following statements: 'People like me will leave Michigan if Abdul El-Sayed wins, and the people in the background will settle here and have more children. Choose wisely, Michigan.'

Here is that post; 

THERE IS A HUGE REACTION 

Rogowska's direct targeting of Muslims living in the region, despite being of immigrant origin in the US herself, caused a huge backlash on social media, as she is known for her Islamophobic and anti-refugee rhetoric.
