Islamist Wins Dem Nomination for Senator [semi-satire]

Abdul El-Sayed narrowly won the Democratic primary election for one of Michigan's US Senate seats. Self-identified Marxist Hasan Piker denounced the 51% of Democrats who did not vote for El-Sayed, calling them "unbelievably Islamophobic pieces of s**t."

Long-time Democrat strategist James Carville expressed his disappointment that "communists and antisemites are trying to take over the Democratic Party. I am NOT going to be in the same party as Hasan Piker! His idea that the Democratic Socialists are going to seize the means of production is what Lenin did in Russia a 100 years ago. It led to widespread poverty, secret police, and firing squads for dissenters. I don't believe you can legitimately be a Democrat with that kind of agenda. It would be the abolition of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for the vast majority of Americans."

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) who had endorsed El-Sayed's primary opponent Rep. Haley Stevens for the Senate nomination urged his fellow Democrats "to unite behind the voters' choice. Our goal is to defeat the Republicans and stop their reign of terror. While I am not enthusiastic about the idea of seizing the means of production or the antisemitism advocated by the Democratic Socialists of America I'm confident that the US Supreme Court will not permit those antidemocratic policies to go into effect."

El-Sayed thanked Schumer for urging unity, but announced that "I will not be supporting him for Majority Leader of the Senate. The DSA platform calls for the elimination of the Senate and the Supreme Court. All power would be consolidated into a single-chamber legislature. The so-called 'checks and balances' that have been blocking radical transformation of our society need to be swept aside to permit collectivism to become a permanent and unchangeable feature of the new American way of life."

Former Rep. Mike Rogers, winner of the Republican primary for the Michigan Senate seat characterized the race between himself and El-Sayed as "a choice between common sense and complete insanity. The so-called 'moderate' Democrats who've been running Michigan for the last 20 years have driven 200,000 manufacturing jobs out of the state, dropped our schools to 45th in the nation, saddled families with higher taxes and higher utility rates. El-Sayed is an extremist who will be even worse for the people in our state and nation."

El-Sayed countered Rogers' criticism by pointing out "Rogers has a vacation home in Florida. That's something that the average Michigan voter cannot afford." Doug Powers, an editor for Twitchy, noted that "El-Sayed owns investment properties in Dubai and India. I'd bet that even fewer Michigan voters could afford that."

In related news, a Fox News Digital review found that El-Sayed has received more than $115,000 in campaign donations from individuals connected to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and by the states of Florida and Texas. Jukaku Tayeb, El-Sayed's father-in-law, is a member of the founding committee of the Islamic Society of North America--a group linked to the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hamas.

I can’t see where anything El-Sayed has said makes him eligible for the Senate. He sure does not strike me as a true American or the kind of person any true American would want as a U.S. Senator. Self-identified Marxist & I believe an Islamist as well; why should he even be eligible to run? Sounds like there is an urgency for some desparately needed changes in a law that even allows this.
