So, the ACLU in Indiana is imploding because the board hired an anti-Israel radical leftist activist who doesnât really believe in free speech and was endorsed by Macklemore while running for mayor in Seattle before participating in the CHAZâŠto be the new executive director?

Michigan voter on Abdul El-Sayed: âI believe that his affiliation with the DSA is going to destroy, in the DSA words, itâs going to destroy the Democratic Party from the inside-outâŠâ
Yep. This.
More dirty tricks.

Abdul El-Sayed has a problem telling Michigan voters the truthâabout his support for defunding police, his opposition to fossil fuel infrastructure, and his own record on the Muslim Brotherhood. And he won't explain why he flew in a campaign surrogate who said "America deserved 9/11" to stump for him.
Michiganders concerned about El-Sayedâs radicalism are not âIslamophobic.â Thatâs bullshit. Theyâre rational.
And the suggestion that El-Sayed will outperform Jocelyn Benson on Election Day is patently absurd. Anyone telling you that doesnât know the first thing about Michigan politics.
Thanks to @NBCNews's @MeetThePress and @kwelkernbc for having me on to discuss.

Michigan Mike: â[Abdulâs] a conman. Iâm a lawman. Abdul wants to apologize for America. I want to defend America. He wants to represent Palestine. I want to represent Michigan.â
Mike Rogers is ready to fight for Michigan on Day 1. đ„đ„đ„
They arenât looking to Denmark and Mette Frederiksen for inspiration.
"They look to the French Revolution and they look to the Bolshevik Revolution as models," former DSA member @TradeUnionJake told @HeartlanderNews

Earlier this month, I went back to my home state of Michigan and spoke with 20 undecided voters about the issues driving the midterm elections, their views on Donald Trump, and the Senate race between Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed.
Theyâre frustrated with rising costs and the president. But for many, that frustration hasnât translated into support for El-Sayed.
Here's what they told me... đ§”

.@AbdulElSayed has no problem walking around with armed security, but questions if cops need guns? He puts his safety over yours and law enforcement's. Remember that.

DISGUSTING: Abdul El-Sayed laughs as Mike Rogers TORCHED him for refusing to condemn Iran and the IRGC, who killed 50,000 Iranian civilians and thousands of Americans.
Why does Abdul think terrorism is funny?
No one believes El-Sayed is anything other than DSA-aligned. They campaign for him. They are his people. He will vote with them.

Mike Rogers DESTROYS Abdul El-Sayed for constantly playing the victim.
Rogers wiped the floor with El-Sayed tonight.

Democrats think Abdul El-Sayed is too dangerous. We can confirm. That's why thousands of Democrats have already pledged to vote for Mike Rogers.
Put country over party. Common sense over crazy. Join us in supporting Mike Rogers for Senate.

I wore the uniform of the United States to protect Americansâ right to pray any way they want. This is not about Abdulâs faith â itâs about his extreme ideology.
