Historic newspaper gives El-Sayed a savage rebuke for hiding his past while endorsing his opponent   . . . "He has deleted social media posts that reportedly called into question his attitude about America in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He's taken down roughly 100 YouTube videos that paint an unflattering picture of him and his cultural views," the conservative-leaning newspaper argued.

"There is a larger issue here as this Michigan Senate election unfolds — not to mention as the entire raft of midterm elections across the country unfolds.

"That would be the role of antisemitism in the larger Democrat Party. Here in my own state of Pennsylvania, Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro is running for re-election against the GOP’s state treasurer Stacy Garrity." . . . More.
