House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi criticized El-Sayed on a recent episode of the On Brand podcast. Host Donny Deutsch claimed El-Sayed had made “concerning” comments opposing the existence of a Jewish state. “That’s antisemitic as far as I’m concerned,” he said.

“No, it’s more than concerning. It’s wrong,” Pelosi said. “It’s wrong, and it isn’t a reflection of the Democrats in the Congress of the United States. This new person in Michigan, we’ll see if he gets elected to the Congress.”

…

Again, with Stevens, we see Democrats placing continued support for Israel before the success of their own party and their own constituents. Is it any wonder that Stevens lost?

    Abdul wants to spend on Americans, the billions we give to Israel to further the genocide of Palestinians, instead.

    That’s it. That’s enough for establishment Dems to consider him an enemy. If you aren’t Israel First, they will try to bury you.

    I just hope people like Abdul can get into office and put an end to this nonsense. Thanks to all the money we give Israel, they get to enjoy free universal healthcare, free college, and affordable housing. We have none of that in the US.

      I know how you didn’t mean it this way, but your first sentence almost sounds like Abdul wants to spend the money on the genocide of Americans instead haha

      “The money we send to Israel is not going to pay for all of that, so we should just keep sending it.”
