| Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed Has Said He's a Physician, but There's Just One Problem With That Claim |
| 2026-07-10 |
“Yeah, I lied, but so what? Vote for me anyway, because I have the right politics.” [Townhall] Abdul El-Sayed,…the child of Moslem Egyptian immigrants, he is an epidemiologist who apparently has an MD paid for with a Soros scholarship — but no medical license — and a PhD in public health. He started his career in politics as a Bernie Bro, is a member of four completely different national labour unions, considers Israel an evil rogue state, and refused to condemn Iran’s slain supreme leader… the Michigan Democrat running for Senate, was busted the other day lying about his stance on defunding the police. But there's another, bigger, lie that El-Sayed has been sharing. El-Sayed has been claiming he's a physician, but it turns out he doesn't have a valid medical license in New York or Michigan.A doctor is anyone with a PhD in anything, including 14th century French literature or basket weaving. A physician is specifically a medical doctor, ie. graduated from medical school with a license to practice medicine. "You got attacked by your rivals for calling yourself a physician, not just a doctor, even though you don't have a valid medical license in New York or Michigan, which apparently is what you need legally to call yourself a physician," said host Mehdi Hasan. "Do you wish you had just stuck to calling yourself a doctor, which you are, to avoid all of this controversy and attacks on your physician status?""You know, at the end of the day, it's not about whether or not I'm a physician or a doctor, the question is, can you see a doctor? It's not about my education, it's about whether or not your kid gets a good education," El-Sayed said. "People would say it's also about, did you tell the truth," Hasan interjected. "Well, I would say that I was the health director for the city of Detroit, I've done more to provide more people healthcare or eliminate their medical debt than most doctors have done," El-Sayed replied. So he lied. According to recent polling, El-Sayed is statistically tied with Rep. Haley Stevens, a few weeks ahead of the August 4 primary.
