Dana Bash asked a lifelong Democrat from New Jersey how he would vote if was in Michigan. He made it VERY clear, he would not vote for Stepstool Abdul El-Sayed (see what we did there ... because he's short and angry).
BREAKING 🚨: CNN’s Dana Bash: “You’re a lifelong Democrat. If you were a Michigan voter, how would you vote in the Senate race?” Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ): *Laughs* “There’s no way I’m ever coming out for El-Sayed, right now… This is a guy who has made it VERY CLEAR his views towards… Jewish Americans.”

Yes, Elf-Sayed has made it quite clear he hates Israel and Jewish people.
OMFG. Love the guy.

There’s nothing to “clarify.” But Gottheimer knows that.

Elf-Sayed has made his position clear.
I guess she didn't get the answer she wanted. She's really not very bright.

The answer she wanted was the one in support of Democrats.
.@RepJoshG is giving hot Jewish energy. 👏👏👏

Finally an elected Jewish member of Congress who doesn’t underestimate the threat electing the antisemite from Michigan.

It's about time someone took it seriously.
And voters in #Michigan are not going to elect radical anti-Jew Muslim.

Let's hope not.
Vote Republican. All democrats feel this way. Protect Israel and our Jewish friends and students.

Some of them hide their bigotry better than others.
@DrcharlieWardQ I love how Dana Bash's face morphed from a smile to a "whoa, didn't expect that response from a Dem" look.

It was also not the answer she wanted.
@DrcharlieWardQ @AbdulElSayed has now clarified exactly where he is, and, unfortunately, it’s not with Jewish Americans.

He's the opposite of on their side.
@DrcharlieWardQ Last time he’ll be invited on @CNN

Very likely so.
