Timing really is everything. With Michigan voters at the polls today, November 3, to fill the U.S. Senate seat left open by Sen. Gary Peters, a 2019 clip of Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed has resurfaced. Conservative X is making sure every Michigander with a phone sees it.
The clip, about 72 seconds long, was posted on the evening of October 31 by the account @mazemoore. The caption: “Stunning video of Abdul El-Sayed in 2019 showing his disdain for this country. El-Sayed: Blue Lives Matter is a white supremacist movement. Listen to how he talks about our history, our constitution, and our border. Pure contempt.”

El-Sayed: Blue Lives Matter is a white supremacist movement.

As of this writing, that post had passed 631,000 views, 10,000 likes, and 5,800 reposts.
What he said
Sean Hannity reposted the clip with his own transcription of El-Sayed’s reasoning: “Blue lives matter in response to black lives. Why? Because they protect us from the black lives who we know inherently are dangerous.”

In other words, the argument goes, if you support the police, what you really mean is that you think Black Americans are dangerous. It’s a neat trick. The millions of Americans who put a thin blue line sticker on their truck after a cop was shot in the line of duty are recast as Klansmen, and the candidate making the argument gets to feel like the smartest man in the seminar.
The clip moved quickly from there. Pro-Israel commentator Eyal Yakoby posted it with the same line, and that post drew more than 229,000 views. Real America’s Voice shared it too. One account, @jackunheard, added a prediction: “This loser is getting destroyed on Tuesday and we will never have to hear from him again.”

A rough final week
The clip caps a bumpy stretch for El-Sayed, a physician and former Detroit health director. Polling summarized on X shows his race against Republican Mike Rogers within the margin of error. Late last month, Nancy Pelosi, of all people, called his past statements questioning Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state “more than concerning” and “wrong,” according to an X summary of her podcast remarks. In a recent Breaking Points interview, he also called “defund the police” a “dumb” phrase. That’s a convenient change of heart for a man whose 2019 self apparently saw police support as a white-supremacist dog whistle.
We couldn’t find any public response from El-Sayed or his campaign to the resurfaced clip at the time of writing. If he responds, we’ll update this story.
Michigan will decide on Tuesday whether it wants a senator who, by his own recorded words, sees the people who run toward gunfire as a racist movement. The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
