The narrow victory of left-wing candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary exposed a fault line in America. Even some Democrats who have called out his antisemitism (yes, read on) rushed to say that voters should support him in the general election anyway. They argue that MAGA is an “existential threat,” so any Democrat is better than any Republican.
It’s time to shatter that myth. El-Sayed and the political movement that backs him — the Democratic Socialists of America, even though he’s not officially a member — present an existential threat to America.
The DSA openly calls for America’s democratic government to no longer exist, and celebrates anti-democratic terrorism. And it’s growing.
Many good people simply don’t know this because “mainstream” news giants bury the truth. To understand what’s really happening in American politics, listen to the new episode. If you want others to understand too, encourage them to do the same.
In it, I piece through El-Sayed’s:
Blatant lies that fuel violent antisemitism. It’s not “criticism of Israel.” It’s an obsessive, hateful, dangerous ideology.
Shocking video, in the wake of a terrorist attack on a synagogue, denying the existence of Islamist terrorism and lying about the origins of the hatred.
Funding from groups linked to terrorism, and the hypocrisy of demonizing AIPAC while Qatar, China and Iran spend billions on left-wing campaigns.
Deep ties to the DSA, and more.
This threat is as existential as it gets. Yet a massive number of Democrats say they would consider a DSA presidential candidate.
In the episode, I also do something else the media refuses to do: basic math. I detail the many ways Michigan benefits from U.S. ties with Israel, the only democracy in MENA.
That partnership puts money into companies in Michigan, which leads to jobs and tax revenues. More importantly, it helps to save lives of Michiganders as the state faces an onslaught of attempted Islamist terrorist attacks — including ones targeting LGBTQ+ people and a military base.
People are overwhelmed with content, much of it filled with lies. This is a chance to tune out the noise and focus on concrete truth.
Also in the new episode: a big, important update on the war between Russia and Ukraine; the U.N.’s new admission about Gaza; and the latest attack on Christians in Africa. Plus, I share some of your reactions on Instagram:
