A Senator From Hamas?

A Senator From Hamas? | Power Line 
 So one is torn between cheering El-Sayed’s win as a break for the Republican Party, and bemoaning the sad state of today’s Democratic Party.

"The far-left Abdul El-Sayed has narrowly won the Democratic primary for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat. The moment has historical significance, in that El-Sayed embodies in a single person the alliance between socialists and Islamic extremists that now dominates the Democratic Party.

“'Socialist” may be too mild a characterization of El-Sayed. He wants to enact socialized medicine, end enforcement of immigration laws, put a 7% annual wealth tax on billionaires, have the government seize control of AI companies, make college “free” for everyone, and adopt a universal basic income. At the same time, like so many Democrats these days, he is a bitter anti-Semite.

"And it turns out that quite a bit of his financial support comes from the pro-terrorist Council on American-Islamic Relations. For those who may not remember, CAIR was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case, the biggest criminal prosecution of supporters of terrorist groups:" . . .  More...

Mike Rogers Begins Outreach to Michigan Democrats Who Don’t Support El-Sayed   . . . "It was a smart move to make, as there were warning signs weeks before the primary that centered around rumors that Jewish Democrats in the state would not only be voting for Rogers in the general election if El-Sayed won the primary, but that they would also fundraise for him:

"Several Jewish Michigan Democrats admitted Tuesday they or people they know will be backing Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers in the upcoming election if Abdul El-Sayed becomes the Democratic nominee." . . .With the exception of Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, my party’s leaders have sought to appease the dangerous faction rising in our midst. Weak, timid figures like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are spouting empty clichés — “We are a big-tent party” — while abdicating their moral and political responsibilities." . . .
