The article criticizes his past behavior, including racist and derogatory remarks about political opponents and their families, and also offensive comments during the campaign. Even though El-sayed now promotes messages of unity and national pride, the piece argues that his earlier comments and actions reveal a different, more radical persona. Additionally, concerns are raised about the potential impact of his narrow win in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dem-rep-ron-kind-slammed-over-spa-controversy-in-new-ad\/\" title=\"Dem Rep. Ron Kind slammed over spa controversy in new ad\">high-stakes election<\/a>, suggesting it may benefit Republican opponent Mike Rogers. the piece portrays El-Sayed&#8217;s current rhetoric as a strategic shift while emphasizing his controversial past.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Now that \u201cDr.\u201d Abdul El-Sayed is the Democratic nominee in one of the most crucial Senate races this fall, it\u2019s probably a good idea to remind you of who he is. Because, rest assured, El-Sayed and his Democrats want you to forget.<\/p>\n<p>El-Sayed, a hard-left socialist-adjacent candidate who campaigned with figures like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and anti-Semitic pro-Hamas streamer Hasan Piker (the foul-mouthed lefty who not only believes <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EndWokeness\/status\/1967623571259441190\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cAmerica deserved 9\/11<\/a>\u201d but <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DSA_Watch\/status\/2079712009000820736\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">framed the Twin Towers<\/a> getting hit on his wall), won Tuesday\u2019s Michigan primary, but not by the margin he expected.<\/p>\n<p>In the run-up to Tuesday\u2019s verdict on what Democrat would run to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters, El-Sayed held a double-digit lead in most polls \u2014 up to 19 points in one, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/08\/05\/us\/politics\/michigan-primary-election-polling.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a>, and none of his leads in recent surveys were under double digits. He ended up prevailing by a single percentage point over the more moderate candidate, U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, 48.5 percent to 47.5 percent.<\/p>\n<p>So, with that in mind \u2014 and a tough general election battle ahead \u2014 El-Sayed wants you to know that \u201cthere is so much more that unites us than sets us apart.\u201d Which is funny, because he\u2019s also a man who recently made foul remarks about J.D. Vance\u2019s sex life and insinuated he hated his own kids because his wife is Indian and therefore the children of mixed race.<\/p>\n<p>First, here\u2019s El-Sayed in front of an American flag, talking unity (with Woody Guthrie\u2019s \u201cThis Land Is Your Land\u201d playing in the background):<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Mike Rogers wants us divided.

Not only that, but the narrowness of the primary win after polling the projected a blowout means that his opponent, GOP U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, suddenly looks a <a href=\"https:\/\/kalshi.com\/markets\/kx\/test\/kxmisenate-26\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">significantly better bet<\/a> than he did a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>This Vance clip alone is beyond gross \u2013 and should be disqualifying for El-Sayed.
