The Obama campaign's Muslim outreach director participated in a meeting in mid September that was attended by several controversial Muslim activists, NBC News has learned. The Obama campaign now concedes that was a misjudgment, and that its top Muslim staffer would not have attended the meeting if she had known the full participant list beforehand.
"Would a campaign staffer have attended if they were aware of the complete list of attendees? No," said Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt in an email statement to NBC.
