During a townhall at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Wednesday, Democratic Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed could not bring himself to condemn the Iranian regime after being confronted by an Iranian student named Iman Dashti whose family members were killed and detained by the regime.
Instead of condemning the Iranian regime, El-Sayed turned his ire against the United States:
While I stand with freedom and democratic movements, I also worry that once you start putting our resources toward regime change in foreign countries, more often than not, the regimes that we seek to change are the ones in which there is a natural resource interest, and it becomes a ploy for the interests of our corporations.
This amounts to a copout. After all, it is President Trump who is on public record as stating, "I never cared about regime change."
El-Sayed casually and falsely accuses Israel of genocide but cannot condemn a regime which gleefully murdered their own populace.
Well, it has to do with the fact the Iranian regime has long supported Hamas, another entity which El-Sayed cannot bring himself to condemn. He cannot condemn Hamas because he is Hamas and Hamas is a proxy of the Iranian regime. Thus El-Sayed's criticisms are confined to the United States and Israel.
For his part, during a subsequent interview on Fox News, Dashti said:
It's so simple. Say it. Just say you're against the world's largest sponsor of terror. Just say you're against the government who's killed hundreds of thousands of Persians and Americans. But he didn't.
El-Sayed didn't because he doesn't care about Persians and Americans. They are not part of his agenda. As I have previously argued, El-Sayed is "an Islamist with a leftist facade."
Unfortunately, being an Islamist with a leftist facade might get El-Sayed elected to the U.S. Senate.
