Anti-cop, AOC-endorsed Michigan candidate had round-the-clock armed bodyguard (Abdul El-Sayed)
NY Post ^ | 7/18/26 | Gabrielle Fahmy

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed — who has questioned whether police officers need to carry guns — spent years on the campaign trail protected by an armed guard, according to his former security director.

El-Sayed, who has been endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in the Democratic primary, has faced renewed scrutiny after a 2020 University of Michigan video resurfaced showing him questioning police funding and the need for armed officers. During his Senate campaign, however, he has said he does not support defunding police.

“Do people really need to use guns? Do we need as much of a police force?” he asks in the resurfaced 2020 clip.

Jordan Domingue, a former Marine combat veteran who served as El-Sayed’s security director, accused the candidate of hypocrisy after the resurfaced clip circulated online.

“I protected this man with a gun for two years, some average of 6-7 days a week, typically 12-16 hour days,” he raged on X. “Like so many things with Abdul, it’s pure hypocrisy.

“A small part of me hopes he could win in order to expose the bottomless pit of populism and the heroes leftist continue create…he might be the only candidate to lose to a Republican in a blue wave cycle.”

Domingue was director of security for El-Sayed’s Michigan Senate campaign from April 2025 to January 2026 — when he abruptly resigned saying his boss was unfit for the post, according to an interview he gave the Michigan Enjoyer in April. Domingue didn’t return The Post’s request for comment.

He also held the role and provided armed security in 2017 and 2018, according to his LinkedIn profile, when El-Sayed came in second against Gretchen Whitmer in the Democratic primary for Michigan governor. During that time the Muslim candidate claimed he was receiving death threats.

Abdul El-Sayed needs to hire Rashida as his body guard.

She’ a nut-case dervish.

Hey Madison. I want him to stay alive so our guy can beat his ass if Stevens doesn’t. I he wins in November it’s because we didn’t try hard enough. Someone takes him out they’ll blame the political tension-meaning Trump.

John Engler could have walked into a senate seat after 12 yeas as governor. So could Tommy Thompson in Wisconsin. Many others like that out there. Our top tier people don’t have the fight in them unlike the rats.

He’s going to be one of our rulers, so this may not be a proper topic for us to discuss. Who are we to question what they do?
