UMVA has learned that Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed made a shocking joke about President Trump's death during a podcast appearance this week, leaving many to question his judgment and temperament.
The disturbing comment was made on a live-stream hosted by Kat Abughazaleh, a failed far-left House candidate, on Tuesday. El-Sayed, a Muslim and socialist, is currently the frontrunner for the Senate nomination in Michigan, sparking concerns that he may be a weak candidate against the presumptive GOP nominee.
When the conversation turned to Trump, El-Sayed cracked a vile joke about the President's death, saying, "If going swimming in coins wouldn’t actually kill you, he would do it," while Abughazaleh laughed. "I’m like, bro, you’re going to break your neck if you do that."
Abughazaleh chimed in with a chilling response, "Maybe he should try it," prompting chuckling from El-Sayed. The exchange has sparked widespread outrage and raised serious questions about El-Sayed's character and fitness for office.
This is not the first time El-Sayed has made inflammatory comments about Trump. In a speech at Western Michigan University's Miller Auditorium last August, he boasted about his ability to challenge the establishments of both parties, before taking a dark turn. "We need Democrats who have the courage to stand up to the power brokers in our own party, let alone Trump and his goons," he said to wild applause.
El-Sayed's rhetoric took a disturbing turn when he added, "When they go low, we don’t go high. We take them to the mud and choke them out!" The crowd roared in response, highlighting concerns about El-Sayed's aggressive and divisive language.
The video of El-Sayed's podcast appearance has sparked intense debate and raised questions about his suitability for office. As the frontrunner for the Senate nomination, El-Sayed's comments have significant implications for the Michigan Democratic Party and the state's voters.
