The Most Interesting Moments of Kaitlan Collins' Softball Session with Abdul El-Sayed
Abdul El-Sayed granted his first CNN interview since winning his contentious Michigan Senate Democrat primary to Kaitlan Collins. It was an unfortunate softball interview, with multiple wasted opportunities. Here are some moments from that interview.
Collins opened with the usual post-primary pleasantries and narratives: how to unite the party, will Haley Stevens campaign with, reaction to Trump saying El-Sayed is "full of sh*t", fundraising, and Chuck Schumer. The Schumer question prompted El-Sayed to say he really wants to grill HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.:

Diversity, Equity, and Confabulation
If The Onion or Babylon Bee or another satirical publication wanted to spoof the absurdity of DEI — the ideology of "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" — they couldn't have invented a character as unbelievable as Jason Arday.
But Arday is very real: Born in 1985, in 2023 he became at 37 the youngest black man ever to hold a professorship at Cambridge University.
Naturally, he had to overcome great adversity to do so — indeed, superhumanly great adversity.
Arday, the son of Ghanaian immigrants to London, is not only black; he's autistic and was nonverbal until the age of 11, according to glowing media profiles he's received.
He's epileptic,
El-Sayed's 'Socialist Energy Record' Prompts Warning from Research Group
"With Abdul El-Sayed winning the Democratic nomination for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat, Michigan families deserve to know the socialist energy record behind the candidate," Power The Future warned Wednesday.
"Abdul El-Sayed may have won the Democratic nomination, but Michigan families would lose under the insane Green New Deal he has proudly championed," the energy-focused nonprofit cautioned in a press release titled "El-Sayed's Extreme Energy Agenda Means More Pain For Michigan Families."
"Our research found the Green New Deal would cost a typical Michigan household nearly $75,000 in the first year alone, but El-Sayed doesn't seem to care," the group's Executive Director Daniel Turner said:

Stewart Likens Fetterman Interview To 'Traumatizing' Movie After His Defense of Israel
Comedy Central's The Daily Show might have the month off, but its The Weekly Show podcast is still pushing the far-left's agenda. On Wednesday's show, host Jon Stewart battled Democratic Sen. John Fetterman on a variety of issues where the latter has claimed the party is going too far left. On the issue of Israel specifically, Fetterman has threatened to leave the party if the DSA types take over, which led Stewart to claim such a threat is "weird" because "that is not our country." After the interview, Stewart told his producers that the interview was like watching a traumatizing movie.
At one point, Stewart tried to sum up
CNN's Kasie Hunt Equates GOP Anti-El Sayed Ad Using His Full Name To 'Barack Hussein Obama'
On Wednesday morning far left Democrat Abdul El-Sayed was declared the winner of the Michigan Senate primary race, and almost immediately, many in the liberal media went to work, turning their attention to attacking the GOP and their candidate former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers and his ads. That was the case on CNN's The Arena, where host Kasie Hunt focused on the GOP's regrettable "line of attack."
From the outset, Hunt made clear what she considered to be the headline in the aftermath of the election.
MS NOW's Hillyard Doubles Down On Defending 'Capitalist' El-Sayed
MS NOW's Vaughn Hillyard appointed himself as Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's top defender on Wednesday. After insisting earlier in the day that you can't tie El-Sayed to Hasan Piker's 9/11 comments even though he campaigned with Piker, Hillyard guest hosted The Beat and emphatically insisted that El-Sayed is a "self-described capitalist."
Teeing up a video montage for political analyst Eugene Robinson, Hillyard declared, "But I want to let you take a look at the response of some Republicans to his candidacy. Take a listen."
MS NOW's Vaughn Hillyard continued his white knighting for Abdul El-Sayed when he filled in for Ari Melber, asking

Democrat Senate Candidate El-Sayed Backed by Alleged Terror-Linked Individuals
Abdul El-Sayed, now the Democrat nominee for an open Michigan U.S. Senate seat, received a total of $115,000 from members of the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Texas-condemned terrorist organization, a new investigation reveals.
