Socialist and Democrat nominee for Michigan Senate, Abdul El-Sayed, has spent a lot of time trying to change the subject when it comes to past comments from both him and some of his top campaign supporters.
We can add one more item to the list after El-Sayed's interview with Fox News' Jesse Watters. After the subject of the Green New Deal arose, El-Sayed did another of his patented attempts to change the subject.
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed told Fox News host Jesse Watters on Monday that he would not defend the Green New Deal when confronted with his past support for the progressive climate proposal, a notable shift from years of publicly embracing it by name.
"Look, I’m not going to defend the Green New Deal," El-Sayed told Watters after the host confronted him over his past support for the proposal. When Watters reiterated that El-Sayed was on record supporting it, El-Sayed redirected the discussion toward lowering energy costs and creating Michigan jobs by prioritizing renewables.
El-Sayed's Republican opponent Mike Rogers was happy to help remind everybody that, yes, the socialist used to be quite happy to defend and push the Green New Deal:
The only thing you can trust about a conman is that when he’s talking, he’s lying.

If we could harness the energy produced by El-Sayed's lies and attempts to change the subject away from who he really is, all energy problems would be solved.

Ouch!
"Global climate strike"? What a dangerous lunatic.

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress, and to do that Democrat socialists like El-Sayed must be defeated.
