Now, obviously, the “us” referred to here does not include El-Sayed’s core base of support in Michigan, which spent the 2024 election telling people to vote for Trump instead of “Genocide Joe and Holocaust Harris.” But, apparently, we must trust that there is some “us,” somewhere, that believes this.

There have been no such ads applying that word to Sayed. Abdul merely _supports_ Muslim Brotherhood governance, driving explosive cars into Jewish preschools to do mass shootings, and blaming Jews for stealing your bananas. He has never _personally_ carried out any of the jihadi schemes that he and his base admire, and there is no Rogers ad that has claimed otherwise.

He is running the ad to signal that he is the candidate of Tucker Carlson’s Nazi base, which has always been the case, and to re-emphasize the central tenets of his campaign, which are The Cause of Every Problem is Noun Verb AIPAC and Fuck Jews.
