Dr. Abdul El-Sayed — former Detroit health official, Columbia med school graduate, and Soros Fellow — spent the spring of 2020 telling you to stay home, mask up, and watch grandma die on FaceTime. Then George Floyd died on May 26, 2020, and suddenly the same guy was out in the streets marching shoulder-to-shoulder, no mask required, because "racism is a #publichealthcrisis." Now he wants to be a U.S. Senator from Michigan.
Rules for thee, revolution for me. The audacity is almost impressive.
Just The News dug up the receipts, and they're spectacular. On March 25, 2020, El-Sayed tweeted: "Don't be a #COVidiot: #StayHome." He called you an idiot for leaving your house. By April 15, 2020, when anti-lockdown protesters gathered, he mocked them, saying "this was a protest IN FAVOR OF #coronavirus." People who wanted to reopen their businesses and feed their families were pro-virus. People who wanted to march for BLM two months later were heroes.
El-Sayed's entire brand is built on the phrase he repeated three times on March 10, 2020: "Public health is politics." He said the quiet part loud, and nobody blinked. Public health isn't science to this guy. It's a weapon. And he wielded it to crush small businesses, close schools, and isolate the elderly — while 40,000 Americans died of COVID-19 and the lockdowns he championed made everything worse.
Then came June 2020. Floyd's death became the justification for every COVID rule to evaporate overnight. El-Sayed declared racism a public health crisis and claimed 83,000 Black Americans die annually because of racism — his number, not a CDC figure. He cited a Black mortality rate 2.4 times higher than white Americans as proof that the real pandemic was systemic oppression. Apparently the virus understood social justice and agreed to stand down during protests.
Vice President JD Vance — then a conservative commentator — nailed it back in June 2020 when he said the hypocrisy "eroded trust in our country's experts." No kidding. When the same health authorities who threatened to arrest you for opening a hair salon turned around and endorsed mass gatherings, the credibility of "the science" died on the spot.
El-Sayed is now the Democratic frontrunner for Michigan's Senate seat, according to Real Clear Polling. He's running against Rep. Haley Stevens and Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow in the primary. And this is the same guy who's a years-long protégé of Linda Sarsour, the controversial Muslim activist who's been a lightning rod for antisemitism accusations. The company he keeps tells you everything the résumé leaves out.
El-Sayed hosts a podcast called "America Dissected." Fitting name — dissecting America is exactly what he's been doing since 2020. He locked you down, marched with the mob, and now he wants a promotion.
Michigan, you've been warned. This guy already showed you who he is when he had a little bit of power. Imagine what he'd do with a Senate seat.
