Why Abdul el Sayed can’t say Iran is a bigger threat than Israel
Michigan’s Democratic Senate nominee, Abdul el Sayed, has a stock answer whenever he’s asked about his close friend and campaign surrogate, Hasan Piker, who said America deserved 9/11, called the U.S. government worse terrorists than al Qaeda, and has openly praised various jihadis and Communist dictators while expressing a seething hatred for the United States. El Sayed deflects, saying that his race isn’t about a “streamer from California,” feigning amnesia over Piker’s name.
