Not only did Abdul El-Sayed condemn the Muslim brotherhood, he eloquently called the questioner out for asking a racist question, and then the questioner was immediately outed as being a literal paid Republican operative. Triple win
Osama Farooqi retweeted
Fuck he’s got to win.
Abdul El-Sayed tells ABC News in new interview that Israel isn’t an ally of the United States:
“An ally that takes your money to push you into wars you shouldn't be fighting is not an ally.”
“If your kid has a friend who keeps bumming off their money, talks about them behind their back, and gets them into fights with other friends, what would you tell your kid? You’d probably tell them maybe it’s not actually your friend.”

I think this might be the first time in American history you’ve seen a Muslim candidate demonstrate a part of their prayer in an ad like this.
In response to attacks about his faith, Abdul doubles down on who he is.
Takes courage to do this.
Osama Farooqi retweeted
Our president is a fucking pedofile, rapist, racist, israels right hand man, and making prices go up and all we do is hold signs

Got ate right the fuck up. Yeah I need this man in Congress 😂

So if an American Catholic cries as he flies into Rome, that means he is entitled to kick an Italian family out of their house to move in, and when they resist slaughter them all and call it self defense?
It’s hard to say what’s more astonishing - your sense of entitlement, or your sheer stupidity.
I was on a flight to Israel and struck up a conversation with the lady beside me. She was Jewish; her family were Holocaust survivors. As we saw the coastline of Israel from the window, she burst into tears. It was her first time visiting. Tell me again how Jews have no connection to the land of Israel.
Osama Farooqi retweeted
He literally starts by saying, when asked, “Yeah. Sure. Absolutely.”
There is no scarier version of the United States than the one Republicans invent ahead of each election.
🤦♂️ El Sayed refuses to disavow Muslim Brotherhood terrorists.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
When asked if he will disavow The Muslim Brotherhood, El-Sayed replied "Sure, yes, absolutely"

Tommy is a great example of white Christian supremacy in action.
He thinks he's better than Abdul because he's white and he's Christian. And AES is brown and Muslim.
He thinks that gives him the right to ask completely racist, stupid, ignorant, and disrespectful questions to a U.S. Senate candidate.
This is what white supremacy does to the mind.
Osama Farooqi retweeted
“I’m worried you’re a religious extremist!”
“I’m not. Are you?”
“Yes!”
How this went basically
🔥 “Answer the question, Tommy — I think you’re the one who needs to read the constitution, not me.”
@AbdulElSayed skillfully handles a bigoted Islamophobic heckler and exposes him as the true religious zealot in the room.
Osama Farooqi retweeted
What Tommy says at the end, when he refuses to disavow adding any religious doctrine to U.S. law, is the scary part. The next generation of conservatives has a desire for a Christian theocracy, and that threat needs to be taken seriously.
Osama Farooqi retweeted
When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president.
When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president.
Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.
Osama Farooqi retweeted
Now that @AbdulElSayed has been asked to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood because of his mother’s alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood before he was born, will we be asking Donald Trump to disavow the Ku Klux Klan because of his father’s alleged ties to the KKK in the 1920s?

This is so perfect. Honestly, I thought "Tommy" was a plant by the way he walked off at the end. Abdul El-Sayed just looks too good here.
But after looking it up, I learned he was a former Josh Hawley staffer.
This is the most inspiring performance by an American politician that I can remember seeing.
El-Sayed was faced with a bigoted question. He didn't hide from it or pander. He broke down why it was a bigoted question, and gave a stirring defense of American principles and the Constitution.
At the end, his interlocutor wouldn't condemn Christian Nationalism! El-Sayed has a perfect response to this, and "everybody clapped."
A lot of us have had this experience of arguing with right-wingers, questioning them, and then finding out that they have no principles, they're just bigots. A Hawley staffer will talk about the US Constitution and freedom of religion to attack a Muslim politician, and sing a completely different tune when it comes to Christian fundamentalists.
Again, the "everybody clapped" nature of this, followed by Tommy walking off in shame, made me think that he was a plant.
But no. This was a real-life rightoid, getting exposed as the hateful, hypocritical bigot that he is in front of the entire world.
Abdul El-Sayed's rise in American politics has made me a lot more optimistic about our future.
Osama Farooqi retweeted
God dude shit like this lights my soul on fire. Never give into their framing. Never back away in the face of their overt bigotry. Talk them down and reveal them as the hateful morons that they are!!!!
Osama Farooqi retweeted
this country is never coming back from the racism, the homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, or the pedophilia running rampant through the government
Donald Trump on Abdul El-Sayed:
"I took a lot of heat for calling him Mohammed. And I said, I don't care, I'm the president, I can call you whatever the hell I want. And today a guy sends me something, his name is actually Abdula something. It's Abdulbabababa Mohammed El-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right, almost. By the way, how about that guy, he's a jihadist. He's a radical left person who hates our country. He's a member of the Muslim Brotherhood."
Osama Farooqi retweeted
Omg you guys, it's true. Ilhan Omar came here on a student visa, then quit school and just started working. Total immigration fraud, blatant.
Oh wait, that wasn't Ilhan, that was Elon.
