Where did Abdul El-Sayed spend his time at the start of the general election campaign on Labor Day weekend? He attended a conference staged by an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas money-laundering case. How is El-Sayed wrapping up the general election? Giving interviews with a Hamas-supporting Dearborn newspaper, whose editor wants Israelis deported to Poland.
At least El-Sayed's consistent, if not particularly honest. Dearbornistan is not, apparently:
Abdul El-Sayed sought to "soothe" anti-Israel voters in Dearborn during a roundtable discussion this week with local activist Osama Siblani, who has called Hamas and Hezbollah "freedom fighters" and called for Israeli Jews to be sent "back to Poland."
The left-wing Democrat sat for an interview with editors and publishers from different small publications at the Dearborn offices of Siblani's newspaper, the Arab American News. In his questions, Siblani urged El-Sayed to "say something right now to soothe" people in Dearborn, an apparent reference to growing frustration among the city's majority Arab population over what they see as El-Sayed's moderation on the Israel issue and his overtures to black voters, who have a history of friction with Arabs.
"Some of them are not very happy, as you know," Siblani said of Dearborn residents to El-Sayed.
We'll get back to the issue with black voters in a moment. El-Sayed tells Siblani to get his readers in line, because no one's going to be more anti-Israel than he will be and still remain competitive:
"There is no perfect candidate," said El-Sayed, who campaigned with Harris last month in an effort to reach black voters. In his appeal to the unhappy Dearborn residents, El-Sayed pledged to invest taxpayer money in Michigan "rather than send it abroad to kill or maim people who might be related to you in the south of Lebanon or in Gaza or in the West Bank."
As if to underscore that point, a PAC supporting the El-Sayed campaign released an ad this weekend complaining about the Egg Man and his high prices. Whose fault is egg inflation? Goo goo ga Jeeeeeeeeewb:
This is one of the most comical ads this election cycle. Yes, Americans are chatting at the grocery store about how they can’t buy groceries because their tax dollars “go to Israel” 🙄 😂 nevermind the fact that Israel has invested 100% of military aid in the U.S. economy since Oct 7, and has also purchased over $1 billion *additional* in arms, according to DoD. Federal military aid is also prohibited from being spent on anything other than U.S. arms, so the line about healthcare is even more comical. El Sayed and his Islamist fans like Cenk Uygur want and expect American voters to be so stupid they never check. Not only is this ad insane, conspiratorial, and antisemitic — it is also flat out false. El Sayed isn’t for the people of Michigan, he isn’t even for America. He is for the Muslim Brotherhood. https://t.co/wTcwx044hV

Not only is this ad insane, conspiratorial, and antisemitic — it is also flat out false. El Sayed isn’t for the people of Michigan, he isn’t even for America. He is for the Muslim Brotherhood.
According to Open Secrets, Rebellion PAC – the listed funder of this ad – is based in Dedham, Massachusetts, and is a "Carey committee," a hybrid between PAC and super PAC status. Its website does not list its leadership, but it does prominently feature Cenk Uyger of the Young Turks, who promoted this ad while complaining about allegations of antisemitism. It also lists the candidates the PAC supports, although it's not clear whether the PAC has cut ads in other races:
- Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA)
- Chris Rabb (House nominee in PA-03)
- Adam Hamawy (House nominee in NJ-12)
- Josh Turek (Senate nominee in Iowa)
- Richard Ojeda (House nominee in NC-09)
It's worth noting that Hamawy literally has connections to both al-Qaeda and the Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel Rahman, who masterminded the first World Trade Center bombing. Rebellion PAC seems aptly branded, with that as context. Chris Rabb is every bit as radical, although without the overt connections to actual terrorists, unless one counts Hasan Piker and his Hamas sympathies.
Will the Protection Racket Media ask these other endorsees about Rebellion PAC's overtly antisemitic ad running in Michigan? Don't hold your breath.
The irony here is that Siblani challenged El-Sayed for going soft, not just on Israel but also for black voters. The antipathy between Arabs and blacks in Michigan is real, spectacular, and reciprocal. While Siblani warns El-Sayed that he might lose the Dearbornistan vote, black voters are scoffing at El-Sayed and Barack Obama this weekend:
This right here is why Elf-Sayed brought in the black messiah to campaign for him. Detroit's black voters know that muslims hate them and are contributing to the decline of their communities. This is harsh. Nothing 0bama can do could turn this around. https://t.co/jzjen5bO0K

In other words, the election campaign is not going well. That's why El-Sayed brought Barack Obama to Detroit, a desperate attempt to energize black voters on his behalf. It appears to be working just as well as it did when Hillary Clinton drafted Obama to do the same thing nearly ten years ago to the day. Donald Trump won Michigan two days later, and that was when Obama still mattered in national politics as the sitting president.
El-Sayed has already crafted his modified limited hangout if and when he loses the election:
El-Sayed also said he has "real concern" that Republicans will "steal" next month's election, and said he hopes voters will deliver an "undeniable" margin of victory.
"You can't steal a 7-point election. You got walloped, so let's go wallop them," he said.
Election denial for thee but not for we, eh? That's another point in common with Hillary Clinton.
