We already know how woke-crazy Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's half-sister at the University of Chicago is -- a screaming lunatic radical whose loathing for the U.S. knows no bottom. Hear her in action, here and here.Now we learn that his mom, Fatten Fathy Elkomy, had her own way of hating on America.According to Townhall's Amy Curtis:It turns out Fatten Fathy Elkomy worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA), which was also known as the Islamic African Relief Agency, from 1999 through at least 2004.The IARA ran 40 offices worldwide and claimed to focus on healthcare and providing for...

In sales psychology, questions are more persuasive than statements — and it’s not even close. That’s because (scripted) questions can lead audiences towards a very specific conclusion, and our own conclusions are more credible than anyone else’s. If I tell you something, your defenses are up; when you tell yourself something, it’s almost certainly true. Quick example: Grocery stores want you to return (over and over again). Their business model, after all, relies on customer loyalty. Therefore, grocery stores have a vested interest in shoppers leaving satisfied, happy, and content. Which is why cashiers are trained to ask, “Did you...

“Wherever you came from, you came to America. And you came for one reason—for one reason only—to establish Allah’s deen,” Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a former vice president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), had told Muslims, “democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing, and the only thing that will remain will be Islam.” “Muslims in America are the most strategic Muslims on Earth,” the top Islamic figure, who has posed with numerous politicians, including Zohran Mamdani, said. “If you get involved in politics, you have to be very careful that your leader is for Allah. You don’t...

Graham Platner just had an SS Nazi tattoo. Abdul El-Sayed will appear at an event with an imam who praised the Holocaust. I previously mentioned that Chuck Ross at the Free Beacon had reported that Abdul Mohammed El-Sayed will appear at an ISNA conference where one of the speakers will be Imam Tariq Masood who “admitted in a sermon that he forced his 13-year-old niece into marriage, and advised his followers to do the same with their young female relatives. Masood also said it was a husband’s decision whether or not his wife can go to college or must remain...

It’s a family of holiday killjoys. The sister of Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has also dismissed classic American holidays as her candidate brother has been called out for hating on the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and the national pastime of football. Eman Abdelhadi, an assistant professor of comparative human development at the University of Chicago, had several social media posts resurface in the wake of her sibling’s primary victory in the Wolverine State earlier this month. “Excuse me if I don’t celebrate the transfer of stolen land from one colonizer to another,” Abdelhadi posted on Twitter, now X,...

PETA, the organization widely known for its over-the-top progressive activism for animals, is refusing to condemn Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed after serious animal abuse allegations came to light from his tenure as Detroit’s health director. A report from the Daily Mail found that El-Sayed was the subject of whistleblower complaints after he ascended to the post of health director in Detroit. Under his watch nearly 4,700 cats and dogs were euthanized, and an untold number died from malnutrition and lack of medical care, all while being subject to unsanitary conditions. The problem grew so bad that one former employee...

The removed posts from Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, immediately set off Republican attacks. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, was a prolific commentator for years, pontificating about the political issues of the day on social media, YouTube and various podcasts. But if you’re looking for some of his takes from years ago, you won’t find them on YouTube. CNN reported on Tuesday that he had deleted a number of videos and posts where he floated the idea of abandoning fireworks on Independence Day, suggested replacing the Second Amendment with the...

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed got a grilling from a lefty anchor Wednesday about whether he lied by describing himself as a physician despite lacking a current medical license. El-Sayed’s LinkedIn page describes him as a physician, and he claimed to be “a physician and epidemiologist” during an April debate. “You got attacked by your rivals for calling yourself a physician, not just a doctor, even though you don’t have a valid state medical license in New York or Michigan, which apparently is what you need legally to call yourself a physician,” Zeteo founder Mehdi Hasan pressed El-Sayed, questioning...

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed once declared his sacred "obligation" to follow Sharia law in every aspect of his life until he meets his maker on the day he dies, according to unearthed comments he made to the New York Times in 2009 as a young man buying his first home. "Ultimately, the question is, when I die and I stand before God and go through everything I did in my life, I don't want to say I did it the easy way instead of the Shariah-compliant way. Not because of fear but because of obligation," said El-Sayed, who...

A CNN panel exploded in a heated clash Monday night after Dems accused Republicans of launching an “anti-Muslim” attack on Michigan Senate hopeful Dr. Abdul El-Sayed by running an ad campaign using his full name. During “CNN NewsNight” with guest host Jon Berman, the panel discussed Sen. Tim Scott’s (R-SC) defense of an ad campaign that blasts El-Sayed as a dangerous candidate and uses the controversial lefty pol’s full name, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. In an interview clip, the senator was asked whether the ads are an attempt to tell voters “hint, hint…he’s Muslim.” Scott responded, “Not at all … I...

Oh say can you see…no fireworks or football? Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s (D) past views on iconic aspects of American life might make some voters take note. The progressive candidate, who narrowly won his Aug. 4 primary over Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) to face Republican Mike Rogers in November, was caught hating on ultra-American things like fireworks, the Second Amendment and even — gasp! — football in old YouTube videos. The clips, some of which have since been deleted, were reported by CNN’s K-File. In one now-deleted July 2024 video, El-Sayed, 41, says, “Fireworks suck!” and pleads with viewers...

WASHINGTON — Democratic bigwigs are rushing to embrace Michigan Senate hopeful Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and present a united front, with California Gov. Gavin Newsom expected to visit him Monday and former President Barack Obama giving him a call. The Dem powerbrokers are seemingly trying to soothe moderates in the Wolverine State who might have found El-Sayed too extreme during the bruising Senate primary and encourage them to back the progressive in November. Newsom, a long-speculated 2028 aspirant, hailed El-Sayed as a “fighter” and called for Dems to unite due to the “existential” moment the country faces. “House races are important,...

Townhall has shared a slew of upsetting and tragic stories of illegal alien truck drivers, who do not speak English, getting commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) and killing innocent people, both Americans and other immigrants. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy has worked to crack down on companies and states issuing these CDLs to keep Americans safe.But in Michigan, the Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed isn't worried about these truck drivers threatening our safety. He's afraid of white truck drivers in rural Michigan."He and I were in the middle of nowhere in Michigan. I don't even remember where, what town we were...

Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday and outlined plans contingent on Democrats securing a Senate majority after the November elections. In the interview with Jake Tapper, El-Sayed stated that reigniting partisan investigations into the Trump Administration would be a priority if he wins his race and Democrats take control of the chamber. “We ran this campaign to do three things: get money out of politics, put money in your pocket, past Medicare for all. When I’m elected to the U.S. Senate, the first thing we need to...

NBC News White House correspondent Kristen Welker got the radical socialist running for one of Michigan’s senate seats to admit what anybody with sense could deduce about the “Medicare-for-All” scam: Everyone will have to pay for it.

Michigan Democrats' nomination of Abdul El-Sayed over Rep. Haley Stevens should underscore what most of us have known for quite some time: The enemy is not at the gates; the enemy is already inside them. El-Sayed ("the lord," Westernized as El Cid), whom I call El-Mufsid ("the evildoer") for reasons shown below, campaigned openly with Hasan Piker. "Piker, a leftist provocateur who was one of his biggest boosters on the campaign trail, has a history of making repugnant, anti-American and anti-Israel comments, such as saying the U.S. 'deserved 9/11,' and claiming it 'doesn’t matter' if rapes occurred during Hamas’ Oct....

A controversial Michigan Senate nominee made a wild claim about President Trump’s marriage to first lady Melania Trump, calling their relationship “rocky” during a TV appearance Sunday. Abdul El-Sayed railed on CNN’s “State of the Union,” a day after the president posted a photo of the Trumps alongside a shot of the candidate and his wife, Sarah Jukaku. The side-by-side pics were posted under the caption “Two VERY DIFFERENT America’s (sic).” “Actually, Sarah and I like each other,” El-Sayed told host Jake Tapper. “I don’t know about the first lady and the president, but, from what I have heard, it’s...

Dem Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed on Sunday refused to break ties to notorious hate streamer Hasan Piker — while hinting he wants to sock the middle class with the bill for his Medicare for All plan. El-Sayed even left the door open to continuing to campaign with Piker in the pol’s general election matchup against Republican Mike Rogers — despite arguing that the notorious Twitch streamer’s 2019 comment, “America deserved 9/11” was dumb. “It was a dumb statement,” El-Sayed told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “He disavowed it. So yes. America didn’t deserve 9/11. “But to sit here and play...

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed wants Americans to believe that opposition to Sharia in state courts belongs in the same historical indictment as some of the darkest crimes ever committed on American soil. That is not a paraphrase invented by his opponents. It is the unmistakable thrust of his own remarks. Speaking to the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in October 2022, El-Sayed declared: “You can’t understand a Sharia ban without understanding the Trail of Tears.” He then invoked white supremacy and said the “same exact forces” were behind Native American removal, the destruction of Black...

Jake Tapper’s pitches to Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed on CNN's State of the Union today were so soft that he would have been thrown out of a slow-pitch league. Tapper lobbed El-Sayed right out of the box: what can you do to fight Trump harder on affordability and other issues? High hard one there, Jake! El-Sayed was happy to oblige with a lengthy, unchallenged monologue about “hauling up” Trump officials, RFK Jr., and the usual anti-Trump framing. Not a single specific proposal to address affordability. And no pushback from Tapper. Later, Tapper tiptoed oh-so-delicately around the 800-pound anti-Israel...
