The Democrats’ Islamist communist candidate for Senate in swing state Michigan earlier this week snidely criticized President Donald Trump’s decision to take away White House passes from leftist propaganda outlets — MS Now, CNN, and Politico. 

“May I just say, it’s nice to see MSNow and CNN covering the news,” Abdul El-Sayed, the Eddie Haskell of Muslim politicians, told reporters during a campaign stop with the Democratic Party’s failed replacement presidential candidate, Kamala Harris. “That’s what you do, it’s great.”

“You are welcome here anytime to cover news. I’m grateful that you do that. I mean, there are certain people who occupy certain offices that are too cowardly to take your questions,” the smarmy public health bureaucrat and failed former candidate for governor added in a not-so-subtle jab at the president. 

He was more direct in another exchange with the media, asserting that “Trump hates the idea of democracy.” 

“That’s why he denies elections and is interfering with the freedom of the press,” El-Sayed told Deadline Detroit. 

That’s an interesting criticism from a guy who reportedly once urged the Muslim Brotherhood to “purge” news outlets and law enforcement in Egypt. The Trump administration has designated the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.  

As The Washington Free Beacon reported on Wednesday, the “demand was made in an Arabic-language statement on Al-Ahram Gate, an Egyptian news portal.” It was signed by 46 “leaders of the Egyptian community” living in the U.S., “one of whom was El-Sayed, who was born in Michigan to Egyptian immigrants.”

“We, leaders of the Egyptian community, support the revolutionary decisions taken by the president, and we call on him to purge the media and the police as quickly as possible,” states the letter published in 2012 after Islamist Mohamed Morsi, who was Egypt’s president at the time, grabbed sweeping powers to quell growing unrest. 

Laura Loomer first reported on the declaration in April.
