Asked to explain her lies that Abdul El-Sayed "lead the Uncommitted Movement" and "sat out the 2024 election" (he endorsed Kamala Harris before she did), Haley Stevens once again deflects to the RNC's $5000 "Abdul El-Sayed: Too Radical for Michigan" digital ad buy. 🥴

It’s a big deal that Michigan Senate Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is leading UAW strikes in Michigan. UAW leadership always supports establishment Democrats, the fact that the union seems to be embracing Abdul shows where the Democrat Party is going. The Islamic Communist takeover of the Democrats is nearly complete.

Here at Wayne State University in Detroit at an event for U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Young people here tell me his successful weekend at the Michigan Democratic Party convention, where his supporters made the biggest presence, has reframed the Democratic primary race.

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed torches James Carville for backing the same corporate politics that helped hollow out the Democratic Party, then blaming voters for rejecting it. El-Sayed said Carville has “said one smart thing once, which he seems to have forgotten, which is, “It's the economy, stupid.’” “Both parties take money from all the same people to do all the same errands when they get elected, and then no one can afford shit. And then we wonder why everyone's mad.” Dr. Abdul El-Sayed | hasanabi

🚨 DEMOCRATS WERE ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION: Does the party have an antisemitism problem? Mallory McMorrow said yes. Haley Stevens pointed to her record fighting it. Abdul El-Sayed? He couldn’t give a straight answer. When everyone else can acknowledge the problem, dodging the question speaks volumes.
