Michiganders of all stripes are coming together to reject Abdul El-Sayed and his radicalism.

[Dan Senor @dansenor]

It took you 9 hours to produce a word salad that basically says “nope, not gonna stop trafficking in antisemitism”

[Ari Fleischer @AriFleischer]

Can’t bring yourself to condemn an anti-Semitic ad, can you?

As if we didn’t know already, this tells everyone all they need to know about you.

BREAKING: Former Democrat Senator Joe Manchin has endorsed Mike Rogers for US Senate.

[Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer]

I broke the story about Abdul El-Sayed’s @AbdulElSayed Muslim Brotherhood ties EIGHT YEARS AGO, and now President Trump @realDonaldTrump is citing my reporting at his rallies, confirming this guy is a JIHADIST who signed a pledge of allegiance to a designated Islamic terrorist organization.

Barack Obama @BarackObama knew all about El-Sayed's terror ties, yet he still campaigned for him in Detroit this weekend while endorsing Angie Nixon @AngieNixon, whose communist bookstore is decorated with photos of COP KILLERS.

If @TheDemocrats win in 2026 after the President EXPOSED their terror ties, just imagine the monsters they will run in 2028. America will not survive if these radicals take power!

Something is going horribly wrong in the Senate race in Michigan. And I am going to keep calling it out.

On the one hand, the Republicans are conducting a campaign of blatant anti-Muslim fear mongering. Mike Rogers, Donald Trump and the rest of the GOP need to knock it off. Mike needs to personally and repeatedly denounce hate against Muslims.

But now, at the same time, we have TWO ads from the Democratic side that ALSO traffic in hate and intolerance — causing alarm for some Black and Jewish voters.

Seriously— WTF ????

The first ad was from Rebellion PAC (NOT the official Abdul El-Sayyed campaign). It suggested that Americans can’t buy groceries because the USA sends so much money to Israel.

That is a lie. The USA spends less than 00.1 percent of our federal budget on support for Israel. But this ad pretends bananas cost too much because the Jewish state is bleeding us dry. TOTALLY nuts. And yet — this kind of thinking has always put Jewish lives at risk. Blaming Jews for everyone’s economic problems has a long, bloody history.

Abdul did try to separate himself from the ad. He accurately noted that his campaign didn’t produce it. But the problem is: if you listen, Abdul actually NEVER DENOUNCED the CONTENT of the ad. He never said, “This ad is wrong.”

He just said, “Hey, it wasn’t me.” 😬😬😬

That ad — and Abdul’s refusal to forthrightly denounce it — is scaring some Jewish Democrats in Michigan, who now are more reluctant to vote for him.

In other words, that one ad alone is jeopardizing our party’s shot at taking back the U.S. Senate.

BUT IT GETS WORSE!

Then Abdul’s formal, official campaign put out its OWN ad — which features none other than the vile and contemptible Tucker Carlson (!!!). As you know, Tucker Carlson is a rabid, anti-Black bigot who also traffics in anti-Jewish stereotypes. He is anathema to most Black people and most Jews.

No Democrat should ever celebrate the words of a white nationalist who actively undermines the safety of Black people and Jewish people.

Moreover, given the importance of Black and Jewish Democrats to our victory in Michigan, the decision to include Tucker Carlson in any Democratic ad there is truly baffling.

Why am I speaking out about this now? Because I want Democrats to build a winning coalition — now and into the future. Chasing off any Black or Jewish voters is a path to defeat — both in the short term and the long term.

As proud Democrats, it can feel uncomfortable or risky to speak against intolerance in our own party, especially just days before a national election. It would be easier for us to let this stuff slide, shut up and close ranks.

But that would make us hypocrites. For 10 years, we Democrats have watched with dismay and disgust as Republicans (who know better) have refused to challenge ANY bad ideas or bad actions in their own ranks. As a result, their party curdled into a cult — one that is now wrecking the country AND falling apart.

As Democrats, we should not make the same mistake.

Anti-Muslim hate is wrong. Period.

Anti-Jewish hate is wrong. Period.

Tucker Carlson’s white nationalism is wrong. Period.

All candidates in Michigan need to say that clearly— and then pull down/denounce any ads that normalize hate or elevate hate mongers.

@CNN @OrenCNN Palestinian citizens of Israel ?
They’re Arab Israelis

[RJC @RJC]

POWERFUL: At the RJC Michigan Community Conversation, lifelong Jewish Democrat Taylor Weintraub understands the danger of the hate Abdul El-Sayed espouses and explains why, for the first time ever, she is voting for Republican @MikeRogersForMI for US Senate:

“Our children deserve to grow up proudly Jewish, without fear. They deserve to walk into their classrooms and synagogues knowing their lives matter, and their safety is not negotiable. That is the promise I made to my children, and it is a promise I intend to keep. And that is why, as a lifelong Democrat and a Michigan mom, for the first time ever, I will be voting Republican for Mike Rogers.” #RJCinMI

Israel is literally the only country in the Middle East where Arabs/muslims get to vote in free and fair elections….

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

Written by a law school friend of 40 years who speaks the truth. Antisemitism is insidious, especially when it disguises itself as virtue, and a precursor to mass violence.

We cannot afford to normalize it, excuse it, or look away. A powerful piece that deserves to be read.

[Leland Vittert @LelandVittert]

Democrats have bullied people into thinking that if you don’t like someone’s policies, they must be a bigot. When you talk about @IlhanMN allegedly marrying her brother and @AbdulElSayed ‘s ad blaming Jews for grocery prices, you’re suddenly Islamophobic.

Voters see this stuff and hate it.

[RJC @RJC]

Abdul El-Sayed is a conman.

@MikeRogersForMI exposed him. WATCH:

“As an FBI guy, if [Abdul] applied he wouldn’t make it through the first four pages. He’s lied about his resume; he’s not a physician. He’s lied about dual citizenship in Egypt, he’s lied about being a North African immigrant. He lied to the camera, to the American people, to us, that he has no relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood. But yet, we’re thinking of sending him to the United States Senate? And what committee did he tell the press he wanted to serve on? Foreign Relations.”

Please follow this entire thread.

Tucker Carlson is deranged. He accuses me personally of ignoring a US citizen allegedly attacked in Judea/Samaria by Israelis & says I "blew him off." Tucker knows how to contact me, but he'd rather make unfounded accusations than get facts.

Here is a timeline of Embassy Jerusalem American Citizen Services' interactions on this case. We have never been able to speak directly to the father, (name redacted) who was allegedly injured in an attack by settlers, only to his son in Chicago, (name redacted). The son has repeatedly asked that he be the only person with whom we speak with.
19 Oct – ACS received an email from (son) alleging his father had been attacked at his home in Turmusaya by settlers and was now at Istishari Hospital in Ramallah. We called the son in Chicago the same day and asked for contact information for his father which he was unwilling to provide. We followed up the same day with an email to (son).
20 Oct – We followed up with another email to (son) asking for contact information. (Son) asked us to call him.  We called the son twice that day and there was no answer. We called the hospital in Ramallah several times but were unable to reach anyone.
21 Oct – Received another email from (son) saying his father was undergoing surgery at the hospital. We called the son in Chicago who said he would send contact information for next of kin in the WB which we didn’t receive. He stated he didn’t want to pursue the matter with the local authorities and said family members would travel from the States to the WB and wanted assurances they wouldn’t be denied entry at the airport.
22 Oct – We spoke again with (son) who subsequently wrote in an email…”Thank you for taking the time to speak with me and for your understanding regarding the tragic incident involving my father. Thank you again for your time, support, and assistance during this difficult time.”  We responded in an email that we would like to speak directly with his father or his uncle and asked for local contact numbers. We didn’t receive any numbers. We received another email that same day saying his brother and mother were traveling to the WB from the States and he wanted assurances that they would be allowed in. We also received medical reports and photos passed to us from the son showing the wounds of his father.
23 Oct – We called the hospital in Ramallah but were unable to reach the father.
26 Oct – We called the (son) in Chicago, but no answer. We left a message asking if the brother and mother had arrived and contact numbers for them. We haven’t received a response or contact numbers.

Tucker, you can apologize when you find your conscience & acknowledge the facts.
