Michigan’s radical new Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed is already demanding the Democratic Party expel its own over Israel.
Fresh off his win 10 days ago, the leftist told PBS NewsHour that Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) effectively “self-expelled” from the party by endorsing his Republican opponent. “When you self-expel, at some point, you’re choosing to walk all the way out of the tent. And that was a choice she made,” he sneered when asked if there’s room in a “big tent” for a Democrat like Stevens.
Stevens has not left the Democratic Party. She is still a sitting House Democrat. El-Sayed simply wants to purge anyone who won’t join his anti-Israel crusade. His primary victory over her was powered by progressive rage at her support for the Jewish state. Now he’s rewriting the rules so pro-Israel Democrats are no longer welcome.
The mask slipped completely on Israel itself. El-Sayed declared Americans have reached “consensus” against using tax dollars “to buy bombs and tanks for other countries.” He then accused Israel of “genocide or apartheid” and fighting “a war we have no business fighting for the annexation of a different country.” He demanded all foreign military aid be conditioned on his version of “international law,” lumping the Jewish state with Egypt, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia as undeserving.
This is not isolated. On 60 Minutes, he answered “yes” instantly when asked if “Palestine” has a right to exist. Asked the same about Israel, he hedged: “Yes, if there is a shared understanding.” At a “Jews for Abdul” event, he admitted he “struggles” with Israel existing as a Jewish state and branded it an apartheid regime. After a truck slammed into a Michigan synagogue, he tried to argue that “hurt people hurt people.” He has shared stages with far-left agitator Hasan Piker. He has stayed silent on the October 7 anniversary while blaming Benjamin Netanyahu for pushing America toward war with Iran, and dismissed questions about whether Israel or Iran poses the greater threat as “dumb.”
When an Iranian-American student at the University of Michigan confronted him over the IRGC’s brutality and the Islamic Republic’s body count, El-Sayed refused to condemn the regime and instead lectured about American “regime change” and acting as the “world’s policemen.”
He once signed a letter urging Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood president to purge the media and police. He cries Islamophobia whenever these facts surface, while his own half-sister once posted that the family had long ties to the Brotherhood and his mother worked for an Islamic charity until the Treasury Department shut it down in 2004 for terror financing.
This is the man Democrats just elevated as the first Muslim senator. His first instinct is to police the party’s boundaries against anyone insufficiently hostile to Israel.
El-Sayed is torching the Democratic Party from the inside.
The bill for that radicalism will come due far beyond Michigan.
