Democrat Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is trying a new misinformation strategy on gullible voters and talk show hosts. You know that campaigning he did with his pal Hassan ‘America deserved 9/11’ Piker? Well, El-Sayed says it’s no different than him being interviewed by Jesse Watters at Fox News. Who knew the line between campaigning with a radical bestie was the same as dodging questions from an interviewer you have no personal relationship with? El-Sayed debuted his lie on The Breakfast Club with Charlamagne tha God.
He really thinks this nonsense will detach himself from Piker (WATCH)
El-Sayed is now trying to conflate doing interviews with campaigning alongside Hasan Piker.

"I hang out with you guys. I hang out with Hasan. I hang out with Jesse Watters on Fox."
His newest deflection attempt. And it's not a good one. pic.twitter.com/fdqSkkkiWy
He's such an idiot and a snake. According to Hasan, El-Sayed asked him to come and campaign with him. That's not the same as an interview.

Just "hanging out" !

El-Sayed and Piker: just two bros ‘hanging out’ and chatting politics. Nothing more. So stupid.
Posters are not so easily confused. They know that an interview is not the same as an ongoing political partnership.
Abdul thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. Doing an interview with someone is not the same as "hanging" out with them. Jesse Watters wasn't attached to Abdul's hip, traveling around on the campaign trail with him, nor was Charlamagne. Hasan was never far from Abdul's side on the campaign trail and at the after-party.
Abdul is not against cancel culture; he just doesn't like it when it's aimed at his BFF and hurting his run for senate. Abdul will say and become whatever he needs to, in order to deceive the public and win.

His new "I hate cancel culture" schtick is actually hilarious

Wow, Piker sure did ‘interview’ El-Sayed a lot.
We’re not sure whether El-Sayed has asked Piker about his circumcision situation. But just because El-Sayed asked Watters ‘how’s it hanging’ doesn’t mean they were hanging out.
He spoke 1 time on Jesse’s show and @AbdulElSayed considers that “hanging out” ?????? 😂

@JesseBWatters did not hang with Abdul

BAHAHAHAHA! He was interviewed via remote with Watters.

Just bros hanging out talking about their ding a lings.

He didn't "hang out with Jesse Watters on Fox." Watters interviewed Abdul and Abdul pooped the bed when he was interviewed. This dude is such a fraud.

How is Watters ever going to catch up? El-Sayed won’t even share the same room with him. Meanwhile, El-Sayed shared stages and photo-ops with Piker. Campaigning together and one-off interviews are not the same.
