The Democrats’ jihadist nominee for the Senate in Michigan was asked a straightforward question at a town hall in Ann Arbor on Wednesday: would he condemn the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps?
He declined to do so.
As reported by Newsweek, Iman Dashti, an attendee who identified himself as Persian, informed the candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, that his own family had suffered persecution at the hands of the regime in Tehran.
Dashti noted his dismay over leaked audio in which El-Sayed refused to comment on the death of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after U.S. strikes, remarking at the time that “there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today.”
“That silence had a gaping hole in our community,” Dashti said, before pressing El-Sayed to clarify whether “you stand unequivocally against the IRGC?”
Rather than offering a clear rejection of a brutal state apparatus, El-Sayed offered a studied evasion, replying, “I will always stand for and with democratic movements,” while adding that he opposed U.S. involvement in regime change. Of course, in actuality, El-Sayed opposes the U.S. in general. His good buddy, Hasan Piker, had openly said that the United States deserved 911.
The voter who posed the question was under no illusions about the reason for this hesitation. Speaking later on Fox News, he observed that “a lot of his supporters are very supportive of these institutions, the IRGC. They love the Iranian regime and he doesn’t want to alienate them.”
