As Mindy mentioned a couple of days ago, nothing sums up how the campaign of Abdul El-Sayed for Michigan Senate is going quite like this retort to Fox News' Jesse Watters:
Watters: You think it’s ok to slash a ding-a-ling off

El-Sayed: Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised?
Watters: Yeah
El-Sayed: Then you probably want to move on. pic.twitter.com/mC2w6dlv4o
In the history of ridiculous comebacks that's got to be high up on the list. But trying to "move on" is what El-Sayed and his social media people do on a regular basis.
The first example is this remark from Republican candidate Mike Rogers about who El-Sayed will be representing in the Senate:
Rogers: "El-Sayed wants to represent Palestine. I want to represent Michigan."

That's a great line. pic.twitter.com/sumZzHfavt
El-Sayed immediately denied that.
Wait, no he didn't:
He’s so proud of himself, look at him. He practiced that line all weekend at his AIPAC fundraisers. https://t.co/RRw5tkOxI3

This guy's responses never address and deny the claim being made but attempt to distract with random swipes ("he probably practiced saying that all night" or "did Natalie write that for Trump").
Not too long ago, President Trump said that El-Sayed "campaigned with a communist fanatic who once said that America had it coming on 9/11:

Naturally El-Sayed quickly and forcefully fired back by saying he never campaigned with a communist fanatic who said America deserved 9/11.
Wait, that didn't happen either:
Natalie, I think he’s had a little too much iPad for the week. He needs his rest. https://t.co/QwgGEtQY2p
— Dr. Abdul El-Sayed (@AbdulElSayed) August 22, 2026
In other words, you're damn right El-Sayed campaigned with a communist fanatic who said America deserved 9/11!
Then El-Sayed's comrade Hasan Piker said this about Michigan Jewish Democrat Jeremy Moss: “If Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they are singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone is going to come around and take action, not against the state of Israel, mind you, but against American Jews.”
El-Sayed immediately condemned Piker's antisemitic threat and said he no longer would accept his support.
Again, no, that didn't happen:

"My top campaign supporters and surrogates who have appeared on stage with me do not speak for this campaign" is one way to approach it, I guess.
Vote for Mike Rogers in Michigan to keep this radical lunatic who is trying to hide who he really is out of the Senate.
