Michigan voters wanted new leadership and are already regretting what they got
2026-11-07


Text:

El-Sayed is the perfect example of why people wanted new leadership and are already regretting what they got.

Guy just gets elected in Michigan and his first 48 hours is:

Backstab Schumer on national TV - the same Schumer who wrote him checks after he beat Haley Stevens

Demand "new leadership" but his big idea is Chris Van Hollen - a 60-year-old career politician from Maryland who has been in the Senate since 2017 and wants to run for President. That's not new generation, that's swapping one swamp creature for another.

Then turn around and say he agrees with Trump on cutting Israel aid so he can play moderate for Michigan cameras, while his actual voting record is going to be straight Squad.

This is not new leadership. This is opportunism.

He didn't win Michigan because Michigan wants open borders and defund-police judges. He won because national turnout was 124M and Democrats flooded the zone with early ballots in every county - 2,156 counties moved left vs 2024, even in Texas border counties that voted Trump 51-52% last year.

Now he thinks that means Michigan wants radical change? Michigan wants jobs at the plants, not H1B mills at U-M. Michigan wants secure borders, not Van Hollen-style amnesty. Michigan wants someone who will fight for Michigan, not audition for Morning Joe and TODAY to become the next national progressive star.

"No Schumer" shouldn't mean "replace Schumer with someone even further left." If that's the new generation, Michigan got scammed.

Abdul El-Sayed Says Jewish Children’s Safety Matters as Much as His Own

[KhaamaPress] Michigan senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed says protecting Jewish Americans is as important as protecting his own children, while opposing US taxpayer-funded military assistance to Israel.
Trying to separate American Jews from the roots of Judaism in hope of destroying the Jews first in Israel, then in America. Ugh.
In an interview with CNN, El-Sayed said Jewish families should be able to send their children to schools and synagogues without fear of hatred or violence. Drawing on his own experience of facing hostility because of his Muslim faith, he said no religious community should feel unsafe.

“I’m for love and against hate,” he said, adding that Palestinian and Jewish children deserve equal protection and respect. Mediaite
Islam means peace through surrender. Pious Moslems are admonished not to be friends with Jews or Christians, and Mr. El-Sayed is proud of being a being a pious Moslem. Given that, what does protecting American Jews mean to him?
El-Sayed said much of the criticism directed at him during his Senate campaign stemmed from his opposition to US military aid to Israel. He rejected claims that criticising Israeli government policies amounted to hostility towards Jewish people.
Of course criticizing Israeli government policies is not ipso facto hostility toward Jews — only idiots claim otherwise. Insisting local Jews be punished for Israel’s existence and actions is hostility toward Jews, though. Holding Israel to a separate standard than other countries is also a sign of Jew-hatred. Mr. El-Sayed is already past that point.
“I don’t believe our tax dollars should be spent on weapons and military equipment that are used to do the worst things to Palestinian children,” he said.

El-Sayed’s position on military assistance was a major issue during his campaign. He has argued that US taxpayers’ money should not fund military operations abroad, particularly those that result in civilian casualties.
Time to cut Egypt off the Uncle Sugar teat, then, applying that principle beyond just the Jewish State. When your Egyptian relatives complain, my dear, remind them that it was your idea, mkay?
After defeating Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s November 3 Senate election, El-Sayed became the first Muslim elected to the US Senate. He is due to take office in January 2027.
Interesting times, for sure.
