They want money out of politics, but complain DCSS didn’t give Nixon enough money.
They target AIPAC, while they rake in millions through CAIR, CAIR Action, and other dark money PACs.
They want aid to Israel stopped, but mention nothing about aid to Palestine which goes directly to Hamas.
They want Israelis to vote out Netanyahu, but don’t insist Palestinians have elections to vote out Hamas.
Make it make sense!
aha.. he is against PACs unless they are ones he has created.... definitely speaks with a forked tongue....
El-Sayed launches Habibi PAC
thehill.com/homenews/campaig…
Choice of words here is silly. Establishing the PAC doesn't just contrast, it is a flat out contradiction and reversal of his earlier stance.
Abdul El-Sayed has registered Habibi PAC with the FEC.
The leadership PAC will back Democratic candidates and build party relationships. Critics note the move contrasts with his earlier stance against money in politics.
The name comes from his Detroit victory speech, where he addressed Vice President JD Vance as "Habibi."

Ik herinner me de onmiddellijke woede toen “Israël” op 17 oktober 2023 “bewust” met een “raket” een ziekenhuis in Gaza “vernietigde” met “500 doden” tot gevolg.
Uiteindelijk bleek er helemaal niets waar van te zijn. Het was een slimme leugen verspreid door Hamas en geadopteerd door internationale media.
Maar de woede bleef bestaan en het was het startschot om Israël van “genocide” te beschuldigen. Een beschuldiging die door de antisemieten gretig werd omarmd en tot de dag van vandaag tot “waarheid” wordt gemaakt.
This story is inconsistent with an interview I saw with these grandparents where Jan described seeing him right after he was born.
Abdul El-Sayed was five years old when he asked his grandfather Jan Johnson a question.
“Grandpa, how are you my grandpa?”
His grandparents-Jan and Judy had helped raise Abdul in Michigan, and until then Abdul had never had much reason to think about how they were related. But he had begun to notice that he looked nothing like either of them.
Abdul was 3 when his parents divorced. His father, Mohamed, later married Jackie Johnson, who helped raise him. Abdul called her Mom. So when he asked Jan how he could be his grandpa, Jan gave him a simple answer. Jackie was Jan’s daughter, and Jackie was Abdul’s mom. Then Jan added, “And because I love you.”
When Abdul was older, he spent summers with his father’s family in Alexandria, Egypt. His grandmother there was Soad. She cooked over a small burner with one pot, and Abdul loved to listen to her tell stories. At the end of the summer, he would go back to Michigan, to a cottage on a lake that had been in Jackie’s family for generations. He remembers trying to explain Soad to Grandma Judy. Even now, he says, it is hard to imagine either of his grandmothers knowing what to make of the other’s life.
Soad never got to go to school. She had eight children, and two of them died before their first birthdays. When Abdul talked about her as an adult, he still counted those two babies as the aunt and uncle he would have had. Soad used to remind him that he and his cousins in Egypt were no different from one another. He had simply been given chances they had not . As such, she expected him to do something with those opportunities.
Abdul thought about Soad years later when he began looking at how long people lived. By his reckoning, there was a gap of about ten years in life expectancy between the part of Michigan where he grew up and Egypt. But what bothered him was that he could find a gap about as large much closer to home. He could get on the freeway in suburban Oakland County, drive south into Detroit and see it in less than half an hour.
After medical school, Abdul took on the job of rebuilding Detroit’s health department.
Isitoshe,
When Abdul ran for the U.S. Senate, Jan and Judy sat together in front of a camera. They told Michigan voters that they had helped raise him. Jan talked about how Abdul had helped children get eyeglasses through his work in public health. Then he mentioned something from their own life that had never been on the news. Their grandson still bought their groceries every week.
On Tuesday, Michigan elected Abdul El-Sayed to the United States Senate. When he takes office, he will be the first Muslim ever to serve in the chamber.
May the day break
Even more, the population in Gaza increased significantly since Sept 7.... a genocide, especially one orchestrated by a well armed country, would certainly result in a reduced, not an increased, population in Gaza.
Wait, this is unbelievable! He ran on (in addition to Jew hate) getting money out of politics, and now (after accepting a lot of $ from sources supporting the Muslim Brotherhood AND Chuck Schumer) he is forming his own PAC???
if anyone is surprised by this, they are idiots....
Abdul El-Sayed is now saying he won’t work with Democrats & is starting his own party.
He ran as a Democrat, used the primary process, & accepted Democratic support to get elected. Now that he has the office, he’s walking away from the party that put him there.
He needed the Democratic machine to win he no longer needs it to hold power
You can’t make this up
he is pathologically obsessed with AIPAC. And its only a group of American Jews who want to promote good relations with Israel...pretty benign.
some pretty vile people were elected. Tho I am happy to see a repudiation of Trump and his administration which has made life miserable for the us, for the world, I hate to see how vile some of those who were elected actually. are. NB Jackson and El-sayed especially.
So the guy who replaced Nazi-tattoo-wearing Graham Platner on the ballot, but who still shares all of Platner's views, won the election and has now joined with Abdul El-Sayed in opposing Chuck Schumer as Senate Majority Leader.
Sen. Schumer is just latest example of shanda Jew who thinks feeding the antisemitic crocodiles - giving these crocs tens of millions - means he's going to be eaten last. They never learn.

Roy Cooper, Sherrod Brown, Scott Colom, Josh Turek, and Mary Peltola were all recruited to run directly by Chuck Schumer. That's 5 of the 9 seats that were flipped. Progressive insurgents flipped one seat (Maine).
Why even fight this battle?
Seems like he wants to keep money out of politics unless he personally benefits from it.... we all know he took millions from not only Schumer, but also from supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Senator-Elect @AbdulElSayed does not back @SenSchumer for leadership: "I want new leadership - focused on getting money out of politics, putting money in your pocket, and passing Medicare for all... I want to see who else is willing to throw their hat in the ring."
