CNN anchor Dana Bash lamented on Thursday the findings in a new poll out of Michigan that 45% of the electorate would not vote for a Muslim candidate, calling it "just gross." During a panel discussion on the U.S. Senate race between Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers, Bash noted, "We have new data about that that I do want to get to. First, let's just look at the overall polling that Erin, you were talking about. There's a brand new poll out from The Washington Post this morning that shows El-Sayed at 48, Rogers at 45. With the margin...

Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who is campaigning on getting "money out of politics," will attend a fundraiser at the West Hollywood home of billionaire George Soros’ nephew. Jeffrey Soros, a California film producer, and his wife, Catharine Soros, will host a meet-and-greet alongside former Obama advisors and "Pod Save America" hosts Jon Favreau, Tom Vietor and Ben Rhodes, as well as other Hollywood figures, on Sept. 28, 2026, according to a flyer obtained by Punchbowl News.

After winning the Michigan Senate Democrat primary by falsely accusing his opponent of working for Israel, Abdul El-Sayed headed for a Pakistan Independence Day celebration. At the Pakistan Association of America, El-Sayed spoke out for ousted Pakistani dictator Imran ‘Taliban’ Khan notorious for his persecution of Christians and for harboring Osama bin Laden.The PAA had formerly been headed by Asad Malik who appears to have met in person with Khan and who also served as a board member at the Pakistani American Public Affairs Committee (PAKPAC): not to be confused with the American-Pakistani Political Action Committee (APPAC) which was later...

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed claimed that slavery “profoundly” influenced the American health care system and that any public opposition to taxpayer-funded treatments for illegal immigrants would be a “deliberate, racist attack.” In a resurfaced 2022 interview, the doctor claimed slavery still weighs on America’s for-profit health care. “Racism continues to flummox our capacity as a society to invest in collective public goods” and remains “more powerful than the self-interest of … lower income white folks … in legacy confederacy states,” he said. The Michigan Democrat, who ran a failed campaign for governor of his state in 2018, went...

Former senator Al Franken, D-Minn., and more than two dozen other Jewish Americans signed an open letter endorsing Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. The open letter, which was first reported by The Washington Post, discusses El-Sayed's foreign policy positions, including statements about Israel and Iran, which "have been a concern for many." However, the letter said, "his positions are much less outside the mainstream of the contemporary foreign-policy debate than some of the charged rhetoric surrounding his candidacy might suggest." While El-Sayed has been highly critical of Israel’s war in Gaza and "abuses in the West Bank," the letter...

“We need your voice,” Abdul El-Sayed told a sex offender who had been sentenced to prison for sexually soliciting what he thought was a 14-year-old girl online and then for “distributing child sexually abusive material and multiple counts of accosting children for immoral purposes.” The sex offender had reinvented himself as an activist against incarceration and claimed that he had suffered, “I was only allowed to have the type of phone without a browser, and several times had my phone confiscated” and argued that the answer “is to address the root causes of crime… address the real problems… like education,...

Tucker Carlson basically endorses Abdul El-Sayed for the U.S. Senate He said he would not vote for Mike Rogers at gunpoint, called him a “tool of Israel,” and praised El-Sayed for “taking on” AIPAC. Tucker and Saagar Enjeti agreed that El-Sayed is running an “America First” campaign and said they would bet on him to win. Then Tucker said no one should be further from a position of power than Mike Rogers. https://x.com/JustinUSA/status/2095321352630636999

In their collective Trump Derangement, the Elitist Media will grab and hold on to anything they can in order to claw their way back to Regime Media in service of Democrats in power. Most egregious of these are the Hall Monitor subset, who will seemingly defend anyone and anything standing opposite a Republican.This means that America is subjected to Oliver Darcy hysterically howling in protest because the Bari Weiss-led CBS News had the temerity to point out that Michigan Democrat Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed deleted a series of social media posts evoking the terrorist attack on September 11th, 2001. What...

Some endorsements are so bad that they qualify as anti-endorsements. And I can’t think of any endorsement worse than the one that Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is Jewish and said that she couldn’t attend the state Dem convention because of fears for her safety, just offered Abdul El-Sayed and her party at the Michigan Jewish Democratic Convention. “We have a moral imperative to place the needs of the world above even our own self-interest and, yes, even our own survival,” Nessel told attendees. Nessel acknowledged that Jews were being forced into a “stark choice” thanks to “members of...

Radical Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s racially charged swipe at Second Lady Usha Vance is badly backfiring, threatening to alienate Michigan’s 130,000 Indian-Americans and crucial female voters, insiders told The Post. The unprovoked jab at the second lady exposed El-Sayed’s own insecurities said one GOP insider, who accused the anti-Israel Democrat of victimizing women to look tough when he snidely posted to X: “So do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no …” “I think Abdul has a Napoleon complex and he victimizes women to look tough instead of the actual men...

LANSING, MI — During a live interview on Fox News, Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed forcefully defended the beheading of infidels, explaining it was really the same thing as a haircut. "Have you had a haircut, Jesse?" retorted El-Sayed, upon being asked whether he supported cutting off people's heads with a machete. "Clearly you have no problem with people using sharp objects to cut off parts of your head. Yet, because of your bigotry, you want to deny infidels the opportunity to have their heads cut off with a machete. Your disgusting hypocrisy could not be more apparent." Watters tried...

The Michigan Democratic Senate nominee compared circumcision to “gender transition” surgery for minors and stood by his call to abolish ICE during a wide-ranging appearance on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime.” Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed clashed with Fox News host Jesse Watters in an Aug. 24 interview over a slew of topics, including “gender transition” medical interventions for minors, immigration enforcement, Sharia law, taxes on the wealthy, and the Iran war. El-Sayed, a progressive who defeated the establishment favorite in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary Aug. 4, is facing Republican former Rep. Mike Rogers in November in one of...

One of the many reasons that Dolly Parton was so loved by so many is that she was truly apolitical. She didn't speak out on issues, didn't endorse candidates, and simply lived her life and helped people. Of course, someone was going to politicize her death, and you'll not be shocked to learn it was Abdul El-Sayed. Abdul probably had no idea who Dolly Parton was until about five minutes before he decided to use her death to boost his campaign. But — hoo boy – did that backfire on him. Dolly Parton also used her wealth to help people...

Every single damn time. I have spent a lot of time studying Islamic infrastructure in America and much of it was built by foreign doctors from Pakistan, Iraq and Abdul El-Sayed’s native Egypt who somehow built fortunes by exploiting our health insurance system. Scratch one of these operations and you find certain tells, multiple business names, companies spun off from the practices that contrive to milk Medicare and Medicaid, and focus on lucrative practice areas with populations that are elderly, young or in some way vulnerable. Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood was largely built by ‘doctors’ and ‘engineers’ who joined the secret...

SEVERAL VIDEOS AT LINK................. Abdul El-Sayed completely misunderstood the swipe JD Vance recently took at him and his beloved Sharia law. Either that, or El-Sayed has so normalized blurring the lines that he thinks EVERYTHING is a racial white supremacy issue. Should I mention that both options may be in play? Here’s what happened. JD Vance gave a speech at a Steel Mill where his ‘Papaw’ previously spent decades working hard to earn a living. During the speech, the Vice President took a swipe at El-Sayed for supporting Islamic Sharia law. Vance imagined a scenario in which he told his...

Americans for Citizen Voting Chairman Paul Jacob: 'You can't cheat the people of Michigan and get away with it' =================================================================== Lansing—Democratic members of the Michigan Board of State Canvassers voted Monday against certifying the Americans for Citizen Voting initiative, leaving the proposed constitutional amendment to require proof of citizenship off the November ballot after a contentious debate. The four-member board deadlocked 2-2, with Republican members Chair Richard Houskamp and Paul Cordes voting to certify the petition and Democratic members Vice Chair Mary Ellen Gurewitz and Heather Cummings voting against certification. Since the Board has four members in order to have...

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed responded to questions on whether he wants to replace the 2nd Amendment by saying that people are more worried about healthcare before saying he’s “perfectly okay with people having their hunting rifles.” Host Jesse Watters asked, “You also said this: You want to replace the right to bear arms with the right to healthcare. You don’t want to replace the 2nd Amendment, do you?” El-Sayed responded, “Well, look, man, I think more people are more worried about whether or not they can see...

On Monday, the Democrat nominee for Senate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, appeared on Jesse Watters' show on Fox. You had to figure that was going to be an interesting exchange, and you would be right. El-Sayed was slick, but ultimately that backfired. He kept trying to talk over Watters. When asked about abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), El-Sayed claimed that we used to have the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Watters had to explain to him that yes, INS did the same things as ICE. Yes, they carried guns, apprehended illegal aliens, and removed them. Back then, however, you...

US Senate Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed has lost support ahead of his election against Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan. On Thursday, Michigan State Representative Karen Whitsett slammed El-Sayed's policies and declared her support for Rogers. Whitsett's remarks came during a 'Democrats for Mike Rogers' campaign event, where Rogers claimed his door for new voters "is open". "To Democrat voters who feel their nominee doesn't represent them and their values, all hope is not lost," Rogers said. "I'm not asking you to be a Republican. I'm asking you for the opportunity to earn your trust… our door is open."
