Democratic Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed says he had a “really, really warm” conversation with Barack Obama and tells Jake Tapper “I hope so” when asked if Obama will campaign for him.

Jake Tapper with Abdul El-Sayed NUTSACK on his chin PATHETIC. ASK A TOUGH QUESTION YOU CORRUPT AF LIBERAL MFFFR

Will @jaketapper ask him about his friendship with Islamic terrorists?

Yes, Obama just can't stop meddling, and he has to show everyone he's giving his seal of approval with these radical socialists, while also reminding them just who's KING of this movement and the party, and @CNN will do whatever's necessary to help get them elected. @KSoltisAnderson @WhiteHouse @neeratanden @ABC @CBSNews @NBCNews @jaketapper @MSNOWNews

@jaketapper Was there an agreement in place that if El-Sayed came on your show you would give him the journalistic equivalent of a lap dance?

Watch the full interview here:

Zionist AIPAC @jaketapper didn't bring up his antisemitism nonsense because he knew Dr. Abdul El-Sayed would have checked his bullshit.

I'll say this as delicately as I can. Fuck the DSA and anyone who supports that heinous organization.

Brave “Journalist” doesn’t ask about antisemitic comments or Nazi friends 🙄 shocking

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻He will be formidable. Speaks to middle class and working poor. Trump/MAGA/GOP simply do not care about Americans who are not super wealthy.

you know your country has been invaded when foriegners are leading in elections.

Obama has done so much damage to this country.

islam is incompatible with civilized, western countries.

What about him supporting the murder of 3k civilians. You think he also gives a fuck about the troops that went to go fight in their honor? @jaketapper just a glory hole for anti American terrorism

Just a fast talking Terrorist

So Sayed said he had good talk with Obama the Muslim that has a library that Black Americans say looks like a Mosques.

Blaming Trump for lettuce recall. What a IDI@T

The eventual takeover of the United States of America by a united Communist Party and Islam is a worrying thought.

@jaketapper I’m sure he did.

And Piker?

Someone needs to ask him flat out if if he practices Islamic laws. Socialism will not work in this country. It has not worked anywhere else.

DEPORTED this Habibi

They shared a goat.

Of course. They’re 2 communist lovers

Taking advice from the most treasonous POTUS ever is not advisable.

Jake and all off CNN and MSNBC are Lying MFers who do nothing but attack Progressives and slant EVERY news on what Americans want. Yes Jake you POS we want jobs, homes, raising children and NO MORE ILLEGAL WARS. FU Jake

Having US candidates, associated with different religions makes the world a safer place. It only proves that different religions can be at peace living among each other and religious wars are unnecessary in 2026. It is not the people who are at war only a few insane leaders are.

@jaketapper Jake, are you still sucking Fauci's dick?

@jaketapper 2 Muslim Anti semite pro terrorist sympathizers

………Former President Barack Obama officially held an "encouraging, warm, and inspiring" phone call with progressive Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed on Friday, August 7, 2026, to discuss Democratic general election and midterm strategy. The call took place just days after El-Sayed narrowly defeated moderate Representative Haley Stevens in a highly contentious Michigan Democratic primary. While El-Sayed stated that he likes to "keep private conversations private," he and his campaign shared major takeaways from the discussion during appearances on Meet the Press and State of the Union on Sunday, August 9: * The Tone: El-Sayed described the conversation as "really warm, very inviting," and deeply inspiring, summarizing the experience by saying, "Sometimes, you really should meet your heroes." * The Message: Obama offered tactical advice and praised both El-Sayed and his defeated opponent, Haley Stevens (whom Obama also called), for their immediate post-primary efforts to patch up party factions. Obama emphasized that Democrats must look past primary squabbles, mend fences, and completely unify the party if they hope to win Michigan in November. Barack Obama’s outreach is standard pragmatic party mechanics rather than an ideological shift toward democratic socialism. * Historically, Obama acts as the ultimate mediator for the Democratic Party. His core political philosophy has always focused on institutional power and winning elections rather than ideological purity. * In similar calls with lawmakers, Obama explicitly warned progressives and moderates that internal policy debates "can be sorted out later." To Obama, backing El-Sayed is not an endorsement of radical policies like "Abolish ICE"; it is a calculated effort to prevent progressive voters from staying home in November, ensuring the party captures a critical seat. The conversation is a critical turning point for the midterms for three key reasons: El-Sayed is an anti-establishment progressive outsider who heavily criticized standard party leadership during his campaign. By calling him early, Obama signaled to wealthy centrist donors and moderate voters that the national party establishment is officially blessing El-Sayed's candidacy, ordering them to fall in line. Retaking the Senate majority runs directly through Michigan. Because Donald Trump won Michigan in 2024, the state is heavily contested. El-Sayed is hoping to leverage Obama's historic coalition to beat Republican nominee Mike Rogers in November. Following the primary, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) launched aggressive attack ads using El-Sayed's full name, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, painting him as an extreme, dangerous communist. Aligning with Obama—a center-left figure who won Michigan twice—gives El-Sayed a powerful mainstream shield against being successfully labeled a political extremist. ………..

@jaketapper What could be the editorial justification for not asking this Marxist clown about the following statements by his top surrogate and seemingly BFF? Other than @jaketapper being an obvious leftwing, DNC propagandist, I mean.

People in Michigan get off your dead asses before we have a real problem up there that’s gonna take a cleansing. You people are so lazy and uncaring of your government when they start coming, knocking down your doors and you’ll Be screwed.. O-Vomit and this new POS
