Watch: Not Even a Media Friendly Was Willing to Put Up With This Whopper From Abdul El-Sayed

As RedState reported, the Michigan Democrat Senate primary has had some interesting developments over the last week, with perhaps the most notable one being that one of the three candidates, state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, suspended her campaign.

She didn't endorse either of the remaining two, Rep. Haley Stevens (MI-11) and former Wayne County health director Abdul El-Sayed, stating that "Whoever wins this primary on Aug. 4 will have my full support."

Another notable moment came when CNN, of all places, fact-checked a wildly false claim El-Sayed made about how he did not support defunding the police, while suggesting old tweets he put up but deleted on the topic were taken out of context. But CNN nailed him on it, noting that "interviews from 2020 show El-Sayed repeatedly endorsed defunding the police." 

In addition to that, there is another whopper El-Sayed has told that Michigan voters should be reminded of: in the past, he's claimed he's a "physician"... but he's not.

Back in May, Politico discovered this after doing some digging, sharing that "according to a review of Michigan and New York state medical records, he’s never been granted a medical license in those states." They also observed that "the state of Michigan prohibits anyone who is not licensed 'to induce the belief' that they have a license or are registered to practice medicine."

Yet El-Sayed, who graduated from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons with a Doctor of Medicine degree, has continued to say he is a "physician," which implies he has a license to practice and has an office and patients.

El-Sayed was recently asked about this by far-left former MSDNC host Mehdi Hasan, and when the Senate candidate tried to brush it off, Hassan surprisingly did not let him off the hook.

Here's a transcript of how it went down:

Hasan: You got attacked by your rivals for calling yourself a physician, not just a doctor, even though you don’t have a valid state medical license in New York or Michigan, which apparently is what you need legally to call yourself a physician. Do you wish you’d just stuck to calling yourself a doctor, which you are, to avoid all of this controversy and attacks on your physician status?

El-Sayed: You know, at the end of the day, it’s not about whether or not I’m a physician or a doctor. The question is, can you see a doctor? It’s not about my education; it’s about whether or not your kid gets to get an education. So, I’m just not spending time...

Hasan: Well, that’s a good line, but people would say it’s also about - did you tell the truth?

El-Sayed: Well, I would say that I was the health director for the city of Detroit, and I’ve done more to provide more people health care or eliminate medical debt than most doctors have done in their practice career.

Watch:

If it "doesn't matter" whether he's a doctor or a licensed physician, then why repeat the claim over and over, which is what he did during his failed 2018 gubernatorial bid and this time around in his Senate campaign? And if this guy is lying about this, what else is he lying about that voters in the state of Michigan need to know?

It's really something when you think about the lies Graham Platner almost got away with in Maine about his background, and the ones El-Sayed is trying to pull off in Michigan.  They do this even though they've been fact-checked and called out, even by media friendlies who you think would overlook it.

Further, it really says a lot about the Democrat electorate these days what they are willing to tolerate in the interest of trying to hamstring President Trump. In Platner's case, Maine Democrats were willing to overlook a Nazi tattoo, sexual assault victim shaming, and allegations of domestic and sexual abuse, among other things. The only reason Platner is out, is not because of Democrat voters; it's because of the immense pressure he was put under by the DSCC and his former rabid apologists like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to bow out.

And in El-Sayed's case, it's clear that a sizeable portion of Democrats in Michigan are either willing to overlook his antisemitism and pro-Hamas views - or embrace them.

When you think about it, it's hardly a shock at all that the party has an out-of-control extremism problem. And sadly, it's only going to get worse.
