As a candidate positioned at the center of what researchers say are the worst Islamophobic attacks seen since the aftermath of 9/11, many would expect Abdul El-Sayed to simply defend himself and move on.

Instead, the Democratic candidate for US Senate in Michigan has repeatedly demanded those who question his positions on Israel, the Muslim Brotherhood and his faith, explain the premise of their inquiry. Rather than let others put his loyalties on trial, he has tried to put their assumptions on trial.

    Uh, historically it’s been a shit ton of violence and death being inflicted upon them, as I alluded to with the whole Civil War 2 that makes the original pale in comparison. If I didn’t make it clear enough, I view the whole blue tsunami followed by a Democratic administration that actually does what it needs to and quickly as a pipe dream that is nothing but pure cope.

      I’ll leave my previous response there and take my lumps.
