Oh, the joys of Democratic primary season in Michigan. Enter Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive darling gunning for that open Senate seat in 2026, who's apparently decided that the best way to win hearts and minds is by channeling his inner AOC on steroids.
In a post that's now vanished faster than a Hunter Biden stash, El-Sayed decided to drop some real wisdom on the border crisis: labeling U.S. Border Patrol agents as "white supremacists" while pinning the blame for illegal immigration square on Uncle Sam's shoulders. Interesting strategy that tends to cater to the kids.
Flash back to September 24, 2021, when El-Sayed took to X (back when it was still Twitter and free speech wasn't yet a punchline) to rant about a photo that had all the hallmarks of a viral hoax. You know the one: the "whipping" incident with Haitian migrants, where a mounted agent was accused of playing cowboy with a lash. [Spoiler: It was just a rein, and it was only being used on the horses.] Investigations cleared the agents quicker than you can say "fake news," but that didn't stop our hero from saddling up his high horse.
"Blaming horses for the dudes riding them to whip Haitian refugees is like blaming Haiti for the fact they're coming," El-Sayed wrote. "How about asking how our policies decimate Caribbean & Central American (and so many other) countries—and why we allow white supremacists to police our borders?"
Nothing screams "I'm ready for prime time" like equating hardworking federal agents with the ghosts of the Klan while ignoring the actual pull factors drawing folks north: jobs, safety, and the American dream that libs like El-Sayed pretend is just a mirage cooked up by colonial ghosts.
This gem surfaced right on the heels of El-Sayed getting roasted for scrubbing other social media landmines where he peddled the "defund the police" gospel.

Remember that fever dream from 2020-2021, the one where torching precincts was "mostly peaceful" and cops were the real villains? Yeah, that toxic sludge has curdled into electoral kryptonite for Democrats, and El-Sayed's border bromides aren't exactly a palate cleanser. The Comedy News Network, of all outlets, clocked the deletions on Monday, because even the legacy media can't ignore a self-own this epic.
But let's get real for a second, or as real as El-Sayed allows reality to enter the arena. He loves to finger-wag at "bad U.S. policy" for the migrant flood, but the numbers laugh in his face. Federal surveys paint a picture straight out of Economics 101: Immigrants, documented or not, flock here for the greenbacks and the lack of cartel drive-bys back home. Central America's a hot mess of violence and poverty, sure, but it's the stars-and-stripes beacon of opportunity that's the magnet, not some CIA plot from the School of the Americas playbook.
That's why voters have been demanding tougher borders louder than an antifa riot in LA. We're talking assimilation overload, too many arrivals, too fast, and the system's creaking like an old pickup on I-75. In Michigan, no less, where nearly 20% of voters last year pegged immigration as their top beef, per the Associated Press. And don't forget: That hawkish vibe was the secret sauce in Trump's 2024 Michigan magic, as an AP poll confirms. Blue-collar folks aren't buying the "open borders or bust" schtick; they want security with their sanctuary cities.

El-Sayed, bless his activist heart, has been slinging shade at Trump since the announcement, whining that the ex-prez's moves are "destroy[ing] the rule of law" and siccing ICE on folks to "terrorize neighborhoods." Cute. But calling border guards "white supremacists"? That's not just extreme; it's the kind of unhinged that makes even his Squad mates blush. If this is the Left's idea of a swing-state savior, pass the popcorn—2026's gonna be a clown show for the ages.
