US EditionSenate Candidate El Sayed Declines Comment on Khamenei’s Death, Citing Community Sentiment in Dearborn
El-Sayed said he avoided commenting to spare Dearborn voters, then argued the war is costing Americans $31 billion in taxes.
- On Monday, the Washington Free Beacon released leaked audio from a March 1 campaign call where Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed advised staff to avoid criticizing late Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and instead pivot to attacking President Donald Trump.
- During the strategy session, El-Sayed argued that commenting on Khamenei's death would alienate constituents in Dearborn, Michigan, claiming "there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad" about the leader's demise.
- When pressed by reporters, El-Sayed said he would "go straight to pedophilia, frankly," accusing President Donald Trump of using the war as a distraction; campaign lawyers later alleged the audio was obtained without permission.
- Conservative commentators and Republican lawmakers criticized the remarks immediately, while El-Sayed appeared on Fox News on Wednesday to defend his foreign policy approach and address the controversy.
- Ahead of the August 4 Democratic primary, critics have questioned El-Sayed's judgment regarding his planned rally with podcaster Hasan Piker, who has said the United States deserved 9/11.
