The Radical Transformation Of The Democratic Party Is Almost Complete

The Democratic coalition and power are the basis of the radical Left-radical Islam alliance.

Michigan has a Democratic Senate seat that the Democrats need to maintain, and it has now become open. The candidate they have chosen for this is Abdul El-Sayed, a Muslim who supports radical Islam in pretty much every manifestation he can find.

He lies about it, but it’s not much of a lie considering he has openly stated that he was not going to talk about the death of Ayatollah Khamenei because too many of his friends and supporters were upset about it. He literally equated a radical Muslim attacking a bunch of Jewish schoolchildren in Detroit with the idea of the IDF killing a member of Hezbollah.

He spends his days hanging out with CAIR; his family members are pretty much openly connected with Muslim Brotherhood-associated groups. And of course, he has campaigned alongside anti-American Twitch streamer Hasan Piker over and over and over again.

On Monday, he decided to go on Fox News for an interview with Jesse Watters, and it got awkward because one of the very weird things about the sort of red-green alliance, the radical Left-radical Islam alliance, is that it makes for strange bedfellows.

Muslims generally don’t want transing of the kids. But Abdul El-Sayed is a good Democrat because he needs the coalition, and they support transing of the kids.

“You’re a doctor, right?” Watters asked. “So you think it’s okay for a parent to slash his kid’s ding-a-ling off?

“Do you really want to have this conversation?” El-Sayed replied. “Are you circumcised?”

“Yeah, but, I mean, that’s a personal question,” Watters answered.

“You probably should want to move on,” El-Sayed warned. “You probably should want to move on.

“And circumcision is different than castration,” Watters added.

“I think it’s a problem,” El-Sayed said. “It’s a problem that you think that you get to decide what happens between a parent, a doctor and a patient. And I’m just saying that, yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid’s ding-a-ling. So if you really want to bring that up, you can. I just think you guys are really selective about these things.”

Watters: “Abdul, Michigan’s not going for that.”

Imagine if El-Sayed asked whether it’s okay to cut people’s heads off, and he responds, “Hey, have you ever had a tonsillectomy?”

This is where we are now. He is asked about cutting small boys’ genitals off, and he answers with, “Are you circumcised?”

These are not the same thing. In fact, the only sort of female or male surgery for a child that would be in the same category would be female circumcision, but even that is different, because male circumcision still leaves the member intact and fully working. That is not the case with female circumcision, which is commonly practiced in many areas of the world.

El-Sayed’s comparison is crazy, even more so when you consider that Muslims are generally very pro-circumcision and against transing the kids.

But the Democratic coalition and power are all that matter here.

El-Sayed is a radical. In July 2025, he openly said that it was America that had created terrorists, saying:

I think the approach that we’ve often taken in terrorism has been to figure out how to leverage the might of the U.S. military to go in and root out certain terrorist organizations and where that’s necessary, that’s necessary.

But I also think we need to be curious about why those things happen in the first place. Like what drives somebody to want to commit such a heinous act? … part of what we have to understand is that sometimes when we move, we create so much collateral damage, because too often we have been on the wrong side of our own policies.

This is a person who truly hates America.

He compared Sharia law to canon law, saying, “The idea that I could practice my faith as I choose is a problem. Nobody is trying to push Sharia on anyone else. Just like I hope nobody is trying to push canon law on anybody else.”

“Nobody is trying to push Sharia law on anyone else” is a hell of a statement globally, because that is not true on a global level at all.

El-Sayed has been out campaigning with Hasan Piker, who mocked Charlie Kirk’s death. Piker has no redeeming features. His fans are worse than he is because when he tried to walk back some of his anti-American rhetoric, his fans booed him for doing it. He told them America didn’t deserve 9/11, and his fans booed him because they know he’s lying about what he thinks; they know he’s lying because, of course, he believes America deserved 9/11.

Then he came out and suggested that the Democrats who have condemned his remarks about Charlie Kirk are somehow worse than Republicans. He said:

I think if you are a liberal and you lean into the Republican pearl-clutching operation around the martyrization of Charlie Kirk, you are literally in my estimation, you’re lower than the Republicans. Okay? You are the dogs*** that is stuck to the bottom of my shoe.

The fact that this person is treated as a mainstream voice within the Democratic Party and by the entire media is amazing. He also spent the weekend suggesting that Jews who support Israel are fair game.

I want to hear about real Judaism from Hasan Piker. What does Judaism mean? I think Hasan Piker should define it. His knowledge of Judaism is distilled wisdom.

Here’s what he’s really doing. His whole idea is that if you are a Jew who believes in truly Jewish ideas, you’re not really a Jew. Thus, if you’re attacked, you’re not being attacked for being a Jew. You’re being attacked for being bad. The Jews who agree with Hasan Piker are the ones who are okay.

This is the entire game right now of the antisemitic Left and some of the antisemitic Right: to say Zionist instead of Jew, because most Jews are Zionists, meaning that they believe there ought to be a Jewish state in Israel.

You know why we believe that? Because we have been praying for that three times a day for 3,000 years. We have been praying for it since the destruction of the Second Temple. It is a core part of Jewishness to believe there ought to be Jewish governance in Israel. That is a core part of being Jewish.

El-Sayed put out a statement: “I believe all Americans deserve the right to advocate for what they believe without fear of violence. This is particularly true for communities that have been intimidated for their beliefs in the past. My commitment to Jewish safety is the same as my commitment to the safety of my own daughters.”

I don’t believe him for one solitary second, because I promise you that if somebody attacked his daughter’s preschool, he would not be saying “Hurt people hurt people,” which is what he said when a Jewish preschool was attacked by a radical Muslim.

He says anti-Semitism is a scourge, and we need to address it in all of its forms. He said, “To be crystal-clear, nobody speaks for this campaign besides me and my campaign spokespeople.”

Piker said on Tuesday:

There are going to be a lot of people who are already questioning Abdul El-Sayed’s sincerity on these issues that will then turn around and say, “Oh, he’s, you know, he’s moderating his position on Israel,” all this stuff. I don’t think he is. Okay, I will say this. I am literally the person that is being dangled. And I’m going to tell you once again, he’s not moderating on his perspective on Israel or anything like that. His reaction to this has always been very good, which is, “Look, I deal with people that I don’t fully agree with and don’t fully subscribe to on a daily basis.” This is politics. Politics is about addition, not subtraction, right?

It’s smart. It’s the right way to deal with it and then deflect back to the issues because they are the ones who are engaging in the deflection, okay?

That should make things perfectly clear.
