Abdul El-Sayed’s Messaging Problem Gets Worse
Michigan Democrat Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed keeps getting asked direct questions. His answers keep going somewhere else.
Michigan Democrat Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed keeps getting asked direct questions. His answers keep going somewhere else.
Katy Tur put one of them to him Friday. Jewish voters in Michigan are worried about his association with left-wing streamer Hasan Piker, she said. So why keep Piker close, or refuse to fully disassociate from him, in a state this tight?
Katy Tur: "Jewish voters are worried about your association with Hasan Piker. Why keep him so close?"
El-Sayed: "This campaign is not about a streamer from California"

“If you have Jewish voters in Michigan, I’ll say Dana Nessel is one of them, who are worried about your association with Hasan Piker, why keep him so close? Or why not fully disassociate yourself with him, especially when Michigan is so tight?”
El-Sayed started with Mike Rogers, moved to Donald Trump and then affordability. Piker never really got an answer.
“This campaign is not about a streamer in California. This campaign is about affordability in Michigan.”
Tur wasn’t buying it. She pointed out that Piker campaigns for Democrats, so he is “not just a streamer.” When El-Sayed blamed the media for the focus on Piker, Tur cut in again: “It’s not just the media, and I reject that framing.”
It wasn’t the first time this week.
During his appearance on Jesse Watters’ show, El-Sayed was asked about his support for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He argued that immigration laws were enforced before ICE existed through the old Immigration and Naturalization Service, or INS. He also accused ICE of bringing “tyranny” under the guise of the federal government.
🚨 MUST WATCH: ABDUL EL-SAYED TORCHED OVER WANTING TO ABOLISH ICE🚨

Watters eventually put a specific case in front of him, referring to a man from Southeast Asia accused of molesting a child who ICE had picked up.
“You want that guy to stay in Michigan?”
El-Sayed said he was “glad that that guy got picked up,” but immediately returned to arguing that INS could have done the same thing and called the distinction between the agencies a “bureaucratic game.” Watters countered that the increase in illegal immigration was tied to former President Joe Biden’s border policies, not ICE itself.
It isn’t only interviewers he’s been dodging.
After Vance went after his past comments on Sharia law, El-Sayed brought Second Lady Usha Vance into it, asking whether Vance would take his Indian-American wife “back in time to meet Papaw.” The jab suggested Vance’s white, working-class grandfather would have rejected Usha because of her race.
El-Sayed has gone after Usha before. During an April podcast appearance, he repeatedly referred to the Vances’ children as “Brown kids,” claimed JD Vance believed his own children were less American, and told Usha to leave her husband. He did not address any of it when Vance raised the criticism about Sharia law; he just reached for Usha’s race instead.
The subject keeps changing. The dodge doesn’t.
El-Sayed would rather be talking about affordability and Donald Trump. But the questions following him around Michigan are about things he has already said, people he has already embraced, and policies he has already backed. Changing the subject hasn’t gotten rid of any of them.

It’s amazing how disconnected this guy is. I remember a Senate candidate from Missouri who mishandled a question about abortion. The media tied every Republican to that candidate. Right down to dog catcher. This dirtbag and every demonrat has to answer the Piler question and be forced to disavow him.
Remember when every leftist demanded Trump denounce David Duke, despite him never even mentioning him?
Now they want us to ‘stop talking about’ somebody this Jew hating jerk appeared with MULTIPLE TIMES at official campaign events.
Almost like they want a double standard.
Almost?
Hypocrisy IS the demonrat standard.
Yes, I am SO enjoying watching Democrats get David-Duked.
Except that the Duke thing was illegitimate from the start. No Republican has ever had anything to do with Duke. None has ever given him the time of day. When Trump was asked about him he may genuinely have blanked on the name, and had no idea whom he was being asked about. Whereas El-Sayed definitely knows who Piker is, knows him personally, and has closely associated himself with him, so it’s completely legit to ask about him.
That’s the Democrat playbook.
Make things up as you go.
“El-Sayed: “This campaign is not about a streamer from California”
Oh, yes, it is, honey. It sure is now. Better learn how to cope with it.
Here…El Sayed is counting on the stupidity of his supporters, a sure thing.
So tell me what exactly would be different if ICE was essentially renamed INS. They would still perform the same function as even the arab turd admits.
What he’s trying to convince people of is that the INS didn’t act like ICE does, that it had better and more humane ways of enforcing the law. What he really means is that the INS didn’t enforce the law very much, and that’s what he wants to go back to.
Logic is not the answer. Fact pushing is great. But, Jews need to stop voting for Democrats. Especially those from the ME.
Remember THIS: Abdul Mohammad El-Sayed.
Hopefully hardworking Michigan voters get out and vote and support Mike Rogers and El-Sayed becomes a distant memory.
Michigan has the uaw, mostly a racist org. They’ll put millions into his campaign. Hopefully Trump and his poll watchers are there in force along with attorneys and some trustworthy law enforcement who aren’t bought and paid for by sayed’s backers.
Lying dirt worshipper.
What should be asked is why Jewish voters keep voting democrats.
Partly because people like you hound us about it. It’s annoying to encounter someone in every single relevant article raising that concern.
Can you say “taqiyyah”?
I knew you could.
