Abdul El-Sayed refused to criticize Iran’s Supreme Leader after he was killed because people in Dearborn were “sad today.”
That man is now the Democrat Senate nominee in Michigan – one of the most competitive races in the country.
Trump walked into the Oval Office Monday and said that the Democrat Party isn’t running candidates anymore – it’s running jihadists.
The Party That Wants to Abolish Itself
Here’s what the Democratic Socialists of America actually put in writing in their official platform, “Workers Deserve More.”
Abolish the U.S. Senate.
Abolish the presidency.
Abolish the Supreme Court.
Abolish ICE.
Abolish prisons.
Defund the Pentagon.
Mass amnesty for every illegal alien in America.
DSA Co-Chair Megan Romer confirmed every word of it on Fox News Sunday last month.
The DSA now has over 120,000 members.
Their candidates are winning House primaries in New York, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Washington, D.C. And DSA endorsement now requires candidates to formally support abolishing the Senate – the very institution several of them are running to join.
Trump put it plainly in the Oval Office Monday: “They want to get rid of the Senate. They want to get rid of, ideally, the House.”
He’s not embellishing.
That’s in the platform.
The NRSC sent letters last week demanding answers from Democrat Senate nominees – including El-Sayed, Roy Cooper, Jon Ossoff, and Chris Pappas – on whether they support abolishing the chamber they’re campaigning to join.
Most of them haven’t answered.
Michigan Is Ground Zero
El-Sayed just won the most expensive Senate primary in American history.
He beat moderate Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) despite nearly $65 million in outside money spent trying to stop him – and despite Governor Gretchen Whitmer throwing her endorsement behind Stevens in the final stretch.
El-Sayed campaigned alongside Hasan Piker, a far-left influencer who told his audience that “America deserved 9/11.”
When Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei was killed, El-Sayed told reporters he didn’t want to comment because “there are many people in Dearborn who are sad today.”

Bernie Sanders and AOC campaigned hard for him across Michigan.
Fox News documented that El-Sayed attended multiple DSA events between 2017 and 2020, even as he now claims he’s “not technically or practically DSA.”
Republican Mike Rogers is already running ads tying El-Sayed directly to Piker’s 9/11 comments.
GOP strategist Brad Seitchik didn’t mince words: “He and Mamdani are the heart and soul of the Democratic Party. Democrats have gone completely off the deep end and Michigan is now ground zero for that.”
Democrats Are Running the 2010 Tea Party Playbook in Reverse
The 2010 Tea Party revolt cost Democrats 63 House seats and wiped out Obama’s legislative majority.
Republicans ran too far right in certain races – Christine O’Donnell in Delaware, Sharron Angle in Nevada – and handed winnable Senate seats back to Democrats.
That is exactly what the Democrat Party is doing to itself right now.
A full 57% of American voters say the Democrat Party is too liberal.
Democrats in Congress have lower approval ratings from their own voters than Republicans had at the peak of the Tea Party revolt in 2010.
The DNC is $2 million in debt.
The Republican National Committee has $129 million in cash.
Trump said it Monday: “They start off with a big disadvantage.”
He’s right.

When your party’s official platform calls for abolishing the government your candidates are running to join, that’s not a messaging problem.
That’s a math problem.
John Fetterman – one of the only honest Democrats left in the country – looked at the DSA platform and said: “These people sat in a room and said, ‘How much crazy sh– can we cram into a platform?'”
Every other Senate nominee is either silent or sprinting left.
That’s not a party handing Republicans a gift for November.
That’s a party handing them a generational majority – and Trump has been waiting for exactly this moment.
