Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is campaigning for a radical Muslim U.S. Senate candidate in Michigan — and she’s declaring him the future of American politics.
AOC made the stunning endorsement at a Detroit rally for Abdul El-Sayed, an Egyptian-American Democrat challenging for Michigan’s Senate seat.
“If we want a different politics, we have got to elect different politicians. And I came here to deliver one simple message: that Abdul El-Sayed represents the politics of the future,” she stated.
“Abdul El-Sayed represents the politics of the future.”
“And if we want to not only win a Senate majority, but win a Senate majority that means something new for us, that does something new for us, if we want to pass the legislation that we need, and if we want to build a coalition big enough to actually change this country, then we have got to elect Dr. Abdul El-Sayed to the Unites States Senate,” Ocasio-Cortez continued.
El-Sayed’s record raises serious questions. Reports revealed he lacks a medical license in Michigan and New York despite claiming to be a physician.
His campaign website admits he “wasn’t supposed to be a politician” and “studied to be a doctor” but realized “it was our broken politics that was making people sick.”
The site attacks President Trump directly: “Abdul has dedicated his career to building government agencies that actually work for Michiganders. He is running for the U.S. Senate because he believes life in America shouldn’t be this hard, and as your Senator, Abdul will fight to build a government that works for you, not Elon Musk, Donald Trump, or their billionaire friends.”
El-Sayed has drawn fire for supporting efforts to defund police, claiming Medicare for all would end white privilege in the healthcare system, and saying ICE is being used to “terrorize people on our streets.”
The Squad backs him. El-Sayed has been endorsed by AOC, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters warned the stakes couldn’t be higher.
“The left is so far to the left it doesn’t matter who the candidate is anymore in some of these races.”
“We need Mike Rogers to win. We needed to win the midterms… We don’t have an option of not winning. We have to win. We have to send up more MAGA warriors wherever, because seriously, if we don’t pass the SAVE America Act with the president we have, if we don’t get rid of the filibuster, they’re going to do it when they have control, and game’s over for us,” Gruters said on Breitbart News Daily.
A May poll showed support for Democrats sliding as the November midterms approached.

$50 million+ will not buy this election because the people are with us. The people are with us to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All.
