Opinion | The stealth candidacy of Abdul El-Sayed
- Candidate's 'progressive' label trashed as a cover for a 'red-green alliance' of campus Marxists and mosque politicos.
- Critics say his public health background is a stethoscope for sniping at the U.S.-Israel relationship from the Senate floor.
- Campaign hits back: 'Check your own ties to reality, pal' while volunteers feverishly google 'red-green alliance'.
- Michigan Dems reportedly torn between 'radical leftist' shrieking and the stench of status quo.
- El-Sayed's biggest sin may not be ideology, but making the Swamp's favorite 'civility' look like a rubber chicken.
Brief Summary
In a breathtaking display of political canary-killing, an opinion piece in the paper of record declares that Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed is not merely a doc with a policy plan, but a stealth mujahideen for an unholy Marxist-Islamist pact. Apparently, his crime is being a progressive who doesn't genuflect before the usual corporate altar, and who might have once read a book by Edward Said. The red-green boogeyman is dusted off, polished, and waved around like a scented candle at a book club meeting for the neurotically anxious.
Why This Matters
For the average citizen, this is a flash-bang grenade to distract from the real issue: whether El-Sayed's single-payer plan actually helps you pay for insulin, or whether he's just another careerist in a lab coat. Politically, this tale is a warning: if you're a non-white, non-conservative candidate with a pulse, expect to be tarred with any brush within arm's reach, from 'socialist' to 'secret imam'. The real takeaway: politicians will always take the low road, but that doesn't mean we have to enjoy the potholes.
