El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

Three years ago, the Biden White House attacked me for saying "Democrats should be fighting on every possible front — filing a flurry of lawsuits and exerting public pressure through the media." "The president's team wants to be more selective in picking legal fights." I feel sadly vindicated.
me: more democrats need to talk smack el-sayed: let me lay the smack down
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 1h agoEl-Sayed: "Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can make himself feel a little more manly by making an AI video ... he's a guy who went back to Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns to bet for his endorsement."
this name shit would be the perfect time for obama and/or mamdani to do a hit for el-sayed. "we've heard a lot of people attacking dr el-sayed over his name. well, for eight years they called me PRESIDENT hussein obama. and i'm MAYOR mamdani. so maybe its time for SENATOR el-sayed."
tv ads in politics mostly exist these days to make consultants wealtheir
Greg Pak@gregpak.net · 2h agoTalking about the giant ad spend against him: "Turns out, commercials are part of the television show no one wants to watch." lolol
a grassroots candidate just defeated the establishment pick backed by millions in outside money so cnn instead chooses to speak to the one "democratic" senator left in america who advocates more for israel than his home state. what liberal media?

From the picket line to the halls of the U.S. Senate, we know that Abdul El-Sayed has our back. We're going to fight like hell to make sure in November we're celebrating another victory on election night.
yeah i mean america was such a terrible place the last (and only) time we had a president with a middle eastern name and nobody has fond memories of...

“Republicans should get used to saying my name. I plan to put it on the door outside my office on Capitol Hill, with your support.”
Jeremy Chao@jmchao.bsky.social · 4h agoI wonder if him saying “actually, it’s DOCTOR Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed” would work or if it’d come off as pretentious.
“Barack HUSSEIN Obama” is still a thing Trump still harps on

As I said yesterday: the vast majority of voters have no need to play pundit, back candidates you like and who you think will do the best job. Stop doing consultant cosplay, cause even they mostly suck at their jobs.
It's very very strange to be in a situation where Jeanine Pirro is the sane and responsible one!
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 4h agoIt's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump.
