A wave of Republican attacks against two Muslim Democrats has ended with one of the most prominent right-wing commentators in the country endorsing Abdul El-Sayed for Senate.
Tucker Carlson wrote in his newsletter on Friday that El-Sayed’s opponent, Mike Rogers, was unfit for office and defended him over his past criticism of the war on terror.
The Michigan Democrat emerged from this past week after a wave of attacks were hurled at him and Zohran Mamdani, the first elected Muslim mayor of New York, around the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Both men were the subject of intense focus from media organizations on the right and even some mainstream outlets as the two faced differing but related accusations of anti-American sentiment impossible to separate from their Muslim faith.
Russia’s heavily benefiting from the Iran war lol. Why would they want it to end? 1) It drives up energy prices and they still sell some oil and gas (even if their own gas stations run dry from time to time, making money to support the war is a priority). 2) It depletes the US’s stockpiles, which could otherwise be used to help Ukraine if the dems were to take both houses in the midterms. 3) It’s causing financial pain to much of the west.
