Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed will spend Labor Day weekend alongside a Jew-hating Pakistani cleric who has promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories and admitted to forcing his 13-year-old niece into marriage.

The Combat Antisemitism Movement, a coalition of 700 groups that aims to "eradicate antisemitism," has ousted a Michigan mayor with close ties to Abdul El-Sayed and Jocelyn Benson following a Washington Free Beacon report over his position with the Nation of Islam and his support for its antisemitic leader Louis Farrakhan.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the anti-Israel group whose leader said he was "happy" about October 7, is quietly funding left-wing Democrat Abdul El-Sayed's Senate bid in Michigan. That financial support comes after El-Sayed made demonization of the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) a central pillar of his primary campaign against Michigan congresswoman Haley Stevens, maligning the American group's support as foreign meddling in the election.

Lindsay James, a Presbyterian minister running for Congress in Iowa, supports "gender-affirming care" like puberty blockers and sex-change operations for children who identify as transgender, calling the procedures "medically necessary" and "lifesaving."

The super PAC of the lobbying arm of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the pro-Hamas advocacy group, is taking credit for helping Abdul El-Sayed win his Michigan Democratic Senate primary race and said the victory shows "we're building a movement in Masjids" (or mosques) across the country.

A Democratic House candidate and Hasan Piker fanboy running for a competitive seat in Michigan called the fatal collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge a "climate activist's dream," citing the catastrophe's impact on coal exports from one of the nation's busiest ports. Six construction workers were killed in the March 2024 disaster.

Democratic Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is scheduled to speak at an Islamic convention this weekend—six days before the 25th anniversary of 9/11—on a panel alongside a "9/11 truther" and a Muslim cleric conspiracy theorist who has called for an "examination" of the official narrative surrounding the terrorist attacks.

William Lawrence, the Democratic nominee for a competitive House seat in Michigan, has called for a "world without borders" and to "redistribute all the land and all the money" to make up for America's "evil deeds."

American University in Washington, D.C., will host a symposium on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 that features an "Islamophobia" expert who has lamented the "extrajudicial assassinations" of 9/11 masterminds Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed falsely claimed in a 2012 essay that an Iraqi refugee in California was brutally murdered in an anti-Muslim attack because she had the "courage to wear a Hijab." In truth, Shaima Alawadi's husband killed her in an act of domestic violence that he staged to look like a hate crime.
