As Twitchy readers know, Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed was caught on audio directing his peeps to stay away from commenting on Khamenei's death as there would be people in the community who were 'sad about it.'
You read that right.
That anyone living in America would be saddened by the death of the head of the Islamic terrorist regime should be unheard of and yet, here we are.
And here he is now backpedaling and blaming Trump for making him say it or something.
Check out his statement:

This is literally all Democrats have.
TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP
Well, that and blaming the Jews for everything wrong in the world, but we digress. You guys can already guess how his statement has gone over:
Michigan's a one-party state so "illegally" obtained is just as much BS as the rest of his response. https://t.co/nk4uEKhu63
