BREAKING: NO FEAR! Abdul El-Sayed boldly responds after a Republican convention attendee called for him to be “shot” during Ted Cruz’s speech.
Never back down from the fascists…
“Look, I’m a dad with two daughters, and I hope those daughters get to grow up and live with their dad. This is what has become norm in our politics, I mean, literally calls to violence and the inability for anybody to actually call it out,” the Democratic Senate candidate told CNN’s Collins.
During his odious, fearmongering speech last night, Cruz listed off Democrats that his xenophobic, Islamophobic party despises. When he mentioned El-Sayed, a man shouted out “he should be shot.” Ever the spineless worm, Cruz simply continued on with his remarks, failing to condemn or call out the man’s blatant call for violence.
“We can learn to disagree agreeably, and when you hear that kind of call to violence, it should be shuddering to all of us,” said El-Sayed. “We have a responsibility to lower the temperature, to realize that this is not a blood sport, where you’re just trying to bash the other guy.”
“And so I hope that everybody who heard that is going to call it out for what it is: a call to violence that ought to be condemned across the board,” he went on.
El-Sayed added that he hopes that our country “can actually turn our politics back into a conversation about what really matters” which included “the ability to live a dignified life, get the things that you need and deserve in your life.”
Of course, Republican politicians like Ted Cruz have no interest in improving the lives of average Americans. They serve the oligarchs and corporations and since they have no policies to offer voters, they appeal to racism and rank bigotry.
The man who shouted out for El-Sayed to be killed has no genuine reason to hate the Michigan Democrat, who only wants to provide healthcare to his constituents and end the foreign wars. No, that man wants to hurt El-Sayed because he’s a Muslim. This is what the Republican Party stands for now, so don’t let any of these cretins tell you that it’s the left that’s violent. It’s them.
Please ❤️ and share if you stand with Abdul El-Sayed!
