E-Sayed has consistently dodged saying anything negative about the Iranian Islamist regime.
Wait a minute: aren’t these people supposed to be all about diversity, equity, inclusion, and tolerance? Guess not:

A conservative student at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor says he received threats and harassment after questioning Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed about his refusal to directly condemn Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Iman Dashti, a Persian American student and member of College Republicans, described the threats in an Instagram video following a Sept. 23 town hall confrontation with El-Sayed.
“Since that day, people have threatened me, doxxed my friends, even harassed my family,” Dashti said.
Dashti said critics questioned his political affiliations, accusing him of being a “Zionist plant” or working for Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers.
“So to all you detectives, yes, I’m a proud Christian conservative. I’m a member of College Republicans, and yes, I have met Mike Rogers,” Dashti said. “But none of that changes the fact that Abdul’s answer was terrible.”
E-Sayed has consistently dodged saying anything negative about the Iranian Islamist regime. At his recent debate with Republican Mike Rogers, he continued dodging:
Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed repeatedly refused to answer whether he considers Iran or Israel to be the “greater threat to the United States.”

The left is trying to normalize the radical islamists.
In a sane world, this guy gets crushed. But he may - and probably will - win. Demholes will vote for any degenerate with a ‘D’ after its name. Michigan is on its way to being a muslim state. And 125% turnout in Detroit will be enough. And don’t forget the magical mail-in ballots that always appear in whatever quantity is required.
Yup. And in Michigan, the Muslim Brotherhood is hoping to elect a US senator..... Democrats, as individuals and as a party, are become "a clear and present danger."
Good for Dashti! We need young people involved and standing firm about things.
“Now, you may not hate Muslims. But I’ll tell you, Muslims definitely hate you.”

The only thing I’ll say is that I wouldn’t vote for El-Sayed & do not recommend anyone else doing so, either.

Same here.
Same here.
There was a time when the houses of the US Congress wouldn’t seat people who couldn’t swear allegiance to the Constitution.
