Michigan’s newly minted Democrat Senate (Communist, Islamist) nominee Abdul El-Sayed is discovering the hard way that openly trashing one of the state’s most cherished tourist destinations doesn’t exactly play well with the locals.
After a resurfaced clip of him declaring his disdain for Mackinac Island went viral and drew sharp pushback from Republican Sen. Mike Rogers and even Kid Rock, the socialist candidate pivoted hard — shifting the conversation from his own words to a classic class-warfare jab at the “multimillionaires” defending God’s country Up North.
My friend @KidRock is right — Mackinac is God’s country.

Abdul hates it though … I guess because he prefers his luxury property in Dubai instead? 🤷♂️ pic.twitter.com/0sMomdQ6bf
His response ...
Both of these multimillionaires can afford a weekend on Mackinac Island. How about you and your family? https://t.co/cc7xMr4sd0

In other words, he only hates that island because it's for the rich or something.
Don't look at us, we didn't say it.
Oh now you suddenly like Mackinac Island? We’re not buying your back tracking.

Dude, you’re just trying to deflect from the fact that you said you hate a part of the state you’re running to represent.

But by all means, keep bringing up the name. It’s working great for you! pic.twitter.com/d7WaoYuqDD
You have a place in Dubai. That’s as expensive as Mackinac

Abdul also happens to be a millionaire himself.
Most can’t, because Democrat policies have added tens of thousands of dollars a year to essential needs that we shouldn’t have to spend on.

Ouch, that too.
How many Michiganders can afford a property in Dubai?
— Democrats For Mike Rogers (@DemsForMike) August 9, 2026
Not many.
But c'mon Michiganders, he's a poor guy just like the rest of you.
