Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is facing a firestorm over a despicable line of text found on his campaign website that backed a trucker who targeted a synagogue — and his campaign did nothing to hold any potential digital saboteur accountable, The Post has learned.
asserted
Post → face → nothing
The text appeared in a transcript of El-Sayed’s response to the March attack at Temple Israel and its preschool in West Bloomfield, Mich., where a truck driver rammed the synagogue complex.
asserted
driver → appear → complex
After the Democrat said violence could never be justified, the transcript included a shocking additional line: “it was and he should have done it.”
uncertain
he → say → it
The sick statement appeared in the middle of the same statement where El-Sayed was criticized for saying “hurt people hurt people” in a videotaped delivery, rather than issuing a simple condemnation.
asserted
people → appear → condemnation
That comment drew howls of protest, and El-Sayed apologized in August for how he framed his comments.
asserted
he → draw → comments
Former Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Lon Johnson discovered the additional text while reviewing the transcript of El-Sayed’s speech.
asserted
Johnson → discover → speech
Johnson said he alerted the campaign this spring and that the text was promptly removed.
asserted
text → say → campaign
But he’s gotten no answers on how it may have gotten there or who put it there in the first place.
uncertain
who → get → place
He flagged the issue Monday, posting about it on X, but said he still couldn’t get an update.
asserted
he → flag → update
Who’s error that was – I’m asking,” Johnson told The Post.
asserted
Johnson → ask → Post
Johnson said his experience working on political campaigns led him to believe access to internal campaign materials is tightly controlled.
asserted
access → say → materials
He added that he did not believe El-Sayed himself had written the line.
asserted
Sayed → add → line
“Now if it was a transcript error, say that.
asserted
it → say → that
Was it an individual who purposely edited that statement?
asserted
who → edit → statement
Then was there ever an attempt to find who they were and to fire them?
asserted
they → find → them
These are simple questions,” he said.
asserted
he → say → ?
The Post has reached out to El-Sayed’s camp about how the text got into the speech and whether any investigation or disciplinary action occurred but did not receive a response.
asserted
investigation → reach → response
Johnson also coauthored an op-ed in the Detroit News where he said El-Sayed missed his chance to unite Democrats including those who backed rival Rep. Haley Stevens in the primary this summer.
asserted
who → coauthore → primary
The piece also cited his refusal to say Iran was a greater threat than Israel and his earlier refusal at a September University of Michigan event to condemn Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps.
asserted
Iran → cite → Corps
El-Sayed instead condemned US military interventions abroad.
asserted
Sayed → condemn → interventions
“That to me was cause for a real concern and for many others,” he said of El-Sayed’s non-answer on Israel and Iran.
asserted
he → say → Israel
During his contentious Oct. 9 debate with former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), El-Sayed called it a “ridiculous hypothetical” when he got asked whether Israel or Iran was a greater threat to the US
Johnson and coauthor David Kramer urged voters to “leave it blank” rather than vote for El-Sayed or the Republican.
asserted
Johnson → call → Sayed
“El-Sayed had a responsibility to unite Democrats.
asserted
Sayed → have → Democrats
Instead, he has dismissed substantive concerns as distractions and failed to provide the clarity many Democrats sought,” they wrote.
asserted
they → dismiss → clarity
