Stevens Shocks The Michigan Senate Race
Congresswoman Haley Stevens lost the Michigan Democrat Senate primary to Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed 47.5% to 48.5%. Since then, she has campaigned for every Democrat in the state and repeatedly expressed her support for El-Sayed over Republican Mike Rogers. In fact, Stevens was scheduled to appear at a Democrat unity rally yesterday with El-Sayed and senior Democrat leader Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC).
However, tensions between their camps exploded last week when antisemite El-Sayed failed to unequivocally condemn a hate-filled ad blaming Israel for high food prices. El-Sayed attempted to ban Stevens from Sunday’s unity event, forcing staffers for Rep. Clyburn to declare, “This is not Abdul’s event. [Stevens’] invitation still stands.”
But instead of appearing at yesterday’s Democrat unity event, Rep. Stevens and her fiancé, Josh Turkish, sat next to former Congressman Mike Rogers at the Perfecting Church in Detroit. Stevens announced she was endorsing Rogers, saying, “We can’t stand with hate. We can’t stand with Hasan Piker.”
A Profile In Courage
Before he was elected president, John F. Kennedy wrote a book called Profiles in Courage, highlighting various moments in history when American politicians bucked their party when party loyalty had too high of a price. That is what Rep. Stevens has done.
Who knows whether it will make any difference or not. El-Sayed had his biggest fundraising day yesterday—the day Stevens announced her endorsement of Mike Rogers.
I hope Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) and former Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) have called Stevens. I guarantee that nothing prepared her for the poisonous hate that she is being inundated with today.
Stevens has campaigned for every other Democrat candidate in the state. Nonetheless, she was kicked out of the Democrat Party before the sun went down yesterday. The always eloquent James Carville said Stevens would be treated “like a used condom.”
Chuck Schumer, the highest ranking elected Jew in America, blasted Stevens’ endorsement of Mike Rogers as a “despicable betrayal.” Schumer stands with the Islamist El-Sayed.
Haley Stevens disagrees with Republicans on virtually every issue. But the way Democrats are treating Haley Stevens today could drive her into the arms of the GOP.
Schumer and Carville ought to hope that El-Sayed loses. If he wins and dozens of other radical Marxist and Islamist candidates like him also win running as Democrats, it won’t be just a single Michigan Democrat who will have to decide if she can stay in the Democrat Party. There will be thousands of Democrats questioning their loyalty to an increasingly antisemitic socialist party that tolerates no dissent.
Some leftist politicians in Europe are already coming to regret their “deals with the devil.”
El-Sayed Hates Israel
Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed sat down for an interview with Ross Douthat of “60 Minutes” and was asked about his views on Israel. When Douthat asked El-Sayed if he believed Israel had a right to exist, El-Sayed whined, “I don’t ever get the question of, ‘Does Palestine have the right to exist?’”
So, Douthat asked him, “Does Palestine have the right to exist?” El-Sayed answered immediately and unequivocally, “Yes.”
But when Douthat returned to Israel’s right to exist, El-Sayed wasn’t so quick with his answer, and he had plenty of equivocations. “So, yes, if there is a shared understanding,” El-Sayed said. He continued:
“This is the problem with this debate. We start from where we sit rather than start from principles. I believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis alike.
“If the Palestinian people decide and the Israeli people decide that they want two states for two people, and they decide that on equal terms, I’m for it. If they decide that they want one state shared in a different way, I’m for that.”
On October 7, 2023, Hamas made it clear that it has no intention of living side-by-side with Israel. They vowed to repeat October 7th-style massacres over and over until the entire nation of Israel is destroyed. Then, they will have the “one state” that El-Sayed says he is all for.
Blinded By Hate
Elon Musk’s Neuralink company has already accomplished some truly incredible things that enable people suffering from debilitating diseases to live better lives. Musk just announced that Neuralink has created a product called “Blindsight.” As the name implies, it can cure blindness.
If only something could cure the blindness of the progressive Left. Sadly, that may be incurable.
But reading about Musk’s latest breakthrough, I couldn’t help but think that this is the man the Left wants to put in jail for the rest of his life and confiscate his companies.
They want an America with a lot more people like Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed and Ilhan Omar and a lot fewer people like Elon Musk and Donald Trump. That America will never be great. In fact, I doubt we can survive.
