Abdul El-Sayed’s freakish ‘circumcision’ ploy shows he’s not only a hater — but a weirdo too

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed got truly bizarre Monday night in trying to dodge a question about his support for trans-ing children, a fresh sign of how all Democrats should be repudiating him: Why are they so afraid?

El-Sayed and his advisers thought they’d come up with a great way to answer questions about surgically removing children’s private parts: Explain that it’s just like circumcision.

Seriously: Fox News host Jesse Watters brought up outlawing sex-change surgery for kids, and El-Sayed replied, “Are you circumcised?”

He then airily advised, “You probably should want to move on,” proceeding to declare that anyone refusing to see that both are simply “surgery on a kid’s ding-a-ling” is just being “really selective about these things.”

Nobody not totally blinded by ideology would equate circumcision, a procedure recommended by most medical professionals because of its health benefits, with removal of male sexual organs — a procedure utterly lacking any medical justification. (The supposed scientific support for treating juvenile gender dysphoria with transitions was purely an insider con game.)

Yet El-Sayed is so deep in the weird zone that he thinks this is a winning argument: Nobody should trust his judgment on anything.

Of course, the health policy he most wants to talk about is also divorced from reality: His campaign centers on pushing Medicare for All — a scheme to impose the socialized medicine disasters of Britain and Canada on the United States, which would not only kick everyone off their current insurance but also require roughly doubling US taxation.

A sane party would run screaming from a candidate like this.

Especially, of course, since (as the bizarre take on circumcision suggests) he also brings antisemitism to the table.

El-Sayed’s hatred of Jews has been blatant all campaign long, including his comment on the attempted mass murder of Jewish kids in his own state: “Hurt people hurt people” — rationalizing the Lebanese perp’s attempted atrocity by waving at Israeli fighting in Lebanon.

Plus his refusal to disavow his regular campaign surrogate, streamer Hasan Piker — even after Piker just threatened American Jews that if they support Israel “someone will come around and take action” against them. 

El-Sayed only issued a statement saying he disagrees with that comment, and didn’t even name Piker.

He’s sadly not alone there: House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-B’klyn) also issued a statement disapproving of Piker without naming him.

And only a handful of Democratic electeds across the country are calling out El-Sayed’s hate; Senate leader Chuck Schumer hides behind “big tent” blather.

Nearly all Democratic politicians are now afraid to openly condemn the obvious antisemites in their ranks: That should be a wake-up call for every voter still registered “D” — and for the nation at large.
