Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is under fire.

El-Sayed snuck through the primary, but now he’s facing scrutiny like never before.

And Trump called Abdul El-Sayed a name that Democrats can’t bear to hear.

The Democratic Party establishment, led by Chuck Schumer and AIPAC, plowed $60 million into the Michigan Democratic Senate primary to stop El-Sayed, believing he was unelectable due to his fringe views.

El-Sayed won a narrow victory over the Schumer- and AIPAC-backed Haley Stevens.

But Democrats’ worst nightmare about running El-Sayed for Senate in a swing state was realized when Trump slammed El-Sayed and other Democratic Socialist candidates as “jihadists.”

“We have jihadists being elected all over the place,” Trump declared to reporters during an Oval Office event.

El-Sayed was already facing intense criticism for apologizing for Islamic terrorism.

During the primary, leaked audio emerged of El-Sayed telling his campaign team he didn’t want to comment on the U.S. military killing Ayatollah Khamenei because his Muslim base in Dearborn, Michigan, was upset by Khamenei’s death.

“I also want to remind you guys that there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today. So, like, I just don’t want to comment on Khamenei at all. Like, I don’t think it’s worth even touching that,” the tape showed El-Sayed saying.

Instead, El-Sayed planned to lie and smear Trump as a “pedophile” to rile up Democrat voters with the hoax that Trump was involved with Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

“I’m just gonna go straight to pedophilia, frankly,” El-Sayed was heard going on to say. “I’ll just be like, ‘Pedophile president decides that he doesn’t like the front page news, so he decides to take us into another war.'” 

Trump ripped El-Sayed and Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidates as third-worlders who wanted to dismantle the American way of life since the DSA platform called for abolishing the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the Presidency.

“[In] other countries, I think that’s not gonna be necessarily the way we want to live,” Trump went on to say. “But when you look at the radicalism and the craziness of the candidates and the stupidity of what they’re suggesting — let’s get rid of the Supreme Court, let’s get rid of the presidency, let’s get rid of the Senate — sometimes I’d like to get rid of the Senate too, but I don’t say it.” 

Trump said the socialists were foreigners whom he compared to the Somali migrant scammers who looted $9 billion from taxpayers in Minnesota in a welfare fraud scandal.

“These are people who have not been successful. They’re people who have been, in many cases, failures. They come from other failed countries, and they come here to run our country. They come from places like I won’t mention because I don’t want to get myself into controversy,” Trump continued.
