@AbdulElSayed Why did you dance around what's going on with health care? You named specific things about the other two issues and then yada yada'ed past healthcare. If you're going to call it how it is then call it how it is.

Out of a job? A corporation offshored or automated your job. Can't afford a home? A corporation is speculating on the home you should've been able to afford. No healthcare? Health insurance companies know exactly how to price you out. It's us vs. corporate greed. Every time.

Because I am not a politician. I’m not telling you what you cannot have and should not fight for. We deserve Medicare for All. We deserve union rights. We deserve a political for people not billionaires. We deserve our money spent on us, not dropping bombs abroad. So… 2/x

Two polls yesterday show that the highest number of voters LIKE what we are building, and as they get to know more, they LIKE it more. Why? 1/x

@jonathanchait As a journalist, perhaps it’s worth watching the statement before you take a bad-faith interpretation of an out-of-context snippet of a call at face value? The risk was not calling out an obviously anti-Semitic attack. The risk was placing in its full context.

Anyone who would think a statement condemning a terorrist attack on a synagogue is a “risk” is insane and should be fired from the campaign. Any candidate who thinks it’s “leadership” to do the bare minimum is delusional
Mike🇺🇸🇺🇦@CenTexLib

Abdul El-Sayed said on a conference call that members of his team were worried about the supposed “risk” associated with condemning the antisemitic attack on Temple Israel. He says he decided to make the statement because he viewed making the statement as an act of leadership. From the article: “‘It was a risk,’ El-Sayed said. ‘All of our team was really worried about saying something, but leadership is being willing to say the thing if you believe it to be true that nobody else is going to say.’” Additionally, the article contains a link to an unlisted YouTube video. That video is the snippet of the Zoom call where he says this. While he is talking about this, one of the call’s participants comments “the synagogue raised funds for the IDF,” in an apparent effort to justify the attack. El-Sayed ignored this comment, refusing to give oxygen to the idea that there was any sort of justification for the attack. That’s good. But it’s also not good that there are people in high places within his campaign who would believe, let alone say, such a thing. I think Dr. El-Sayed is a good man. But I am supporting McMorrow in this primary, in part because I prefer a campaign that is not staffed by people who waver on whether antisemitism is bad.

I called out the antisemitic attack on Temple Israel immediately. The “risk” I took that these cowards will NEVER take is having the courage to call out an illegal and unjustified war that’s killing children, wasting our tax dollars, and spiking gas prices, too. The statement:
Tim Scott@votetimscott

Pathetic to see radical Democrats weighing the “risk” of denouncing terrorist attacks at synagogues. The contrast couldn’t be more clear in Michigan: radical terrorist sympathizers like Abdul El-Sayed or America First heroes like Mike Rogers.

This is where they've always been going. ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing paramilitary force in our lives in direct opposition to the Constitution. ABOLISH ICE NOW.
Republicans against Trump@RpsAgainstTrump

Steve Bannon: “We can use this, ICE helping at airports, as a test run, a test case, to really perfect ICE’s involvement in the 2026 midterms. Mike Davis: “I think we should have ICE agents at the polling places” Saying the quiet part out loud.
