  • Influencer and Twitch streamer Hasan Piker said “America deserved 9/11” in a 2019 livestream, and later walked back the comment.
  • Abdul El-Sayed campaigned with Piker in April. El-Sayed said in an interview just before the campaign events that he does not believe 9/11 was justified.

I will put in a good word to folks in Howell and Brighton Michigan where both Mike Rogers and I grew up. Go Abdul!

(This is going to be a very high profile and dirty campaign by Zionists, we can count on this.)

El-Sayed graduated from Bloomfield Hills Andover High School, where he was a team captain for wrestling, football, and lacrosse, in 2003.[6] He then attended the University of Michigan, where he majored in biology and political science and played on the men's club lacrosse team.[9] He graduated Phi Beta Kappa with Highest Distinction in 2007 with a bachelor's degree and delivered that year's commencement speech.[10] His speech was later noted as displaying his skill in public speaking.[11] Former US President Bill Clinton, whose commencement speech followed El-Sayed's, remarked, "I don't want to embarrass your senior speaker, but I wish every person in the world who believes that we are fated to have a clash of civilizations, and cannot reach across the religious divides, could have heard you speak today."[12] According to El-Sayed, Clinton approached him after the ceremony and encouraged him to consider public service.[12]

Abdul El-Sayed criticises Egypt’s lack of democracy after Michigan primary victory

Abdul El-Sayed criticises Egypt's lack of democracy

Michigan's US Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed criticised Egypt’s lack of democracy on Friday, saying he does not want US taxpayer money to be used to impose a “strangling grip” on Egyptians.

The Egyptian-American politician, who won Michigan's Democratic Senate primary for the US Senate on Tuesday, reflected on his parents’ immigration to the United States and how it transformed the course of his life.

El-Sayed said his father’s move to Detroit to study at Wayne State University created opportunities that would otherwise have been unavailable to him.

He explained that his parents’ ability to study and work in the US had ultimately shaped the stark difference between the life he leads today and the one he might have experienced had he been born in Egypt, Arabi21 reported.

"My family comes from a country where there is no democracy, and I don't want to see my tax dollars used to impose a strangling grip on the Egyptian people," El-Sayed said.

He added: "If it weren't for that historical coincidence that allowed my father to immigrate to Detroit to study at Wayne State University, I would be a taxi driver in Egypt like my cousins. The only difference is that I was born in the United States."

El-Sayed also recalled spending much of his childhood visiting Egypt during the summer holidays, saying: “I spent a large part of my childhood summer vacations in Egypt, and there I saw up close what my life could have been.”

He said being born in the US gave him access to healthcare and educational opportunities that were not necessarily available to other members of his family.

“I was born in the United States, where I received vaccinations against diseases that killed my aunt and uncle before they turned one, and therefore I never had the chance to meet them,” he added.

El-Sayed’s comments follow remarks he made in an interview with CNN, in which he clarified his position on US military aid to Israel following pro-Israel backlash over his anti-war views, particularly amid the Gaza genocide and the US-Israel war on Iran.

He stressed that he opposes unconditional US military aid to any country, including Israel, Egypt, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

He added that he does not want US taxpayer money to fund what he described as “genocide, apartheid or a war we don't need to fight”.

She just needs to go away. Her whole "Russia collusion delusion" messaging was also very effective. Look at how many people were ruined professionally and financially because of her.
 
Okay, charge him in court then.
For what?

For having supporters who have links to organizations supporting terrorists?

Personally, I don't like his politics anymore than I care for Hasan Piker's. But that is for the voters of Michigan to decide.
