Does El-Sayed have dual citizenship?
Perhaps not, although he has a history of claiming Egyptian citizenship:
Michigan progressive Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed said in a previously unreported 2016 video that he held dual U.S.-Egyptian citizenship, contradicting his campaign’s claim that he has never been an Egyptian citizen.
The video, first reported Monday by The Washington Free Beacon, shows El-Sayed speaking at a GlobeMed conference in Detroit while serving as the city’s health director.
“I carry dual citizenship, and I grew up spending most of my summers in another country where I understood what it meant not to have the right to self-govern,” El-Sayed told the audience.
Now he says he was mistaken:
Richner said El-Sayed had been told as a child that his grandfather pursued Egyptian citizenship on his behalf because his parents were born in Egypt.
But when El-Sayed and his family later attempted to verify his status, she said they could find no documentation establishing Egyptian citizenship.
I can’t say I care either way. El-Sayed is cut from the same cloth as Mamdani, a leftist and Muslim with a smooth exterior and disarming smile, who unfortunately has a chance of winning his election.
It seems he has a history of saying what he thinks his audience would like to hear.
The very concept of dual citizenship – ALL dual citizenship – should be anathema to all US Citizens and at least disqualifying for elected or appointed public office.

Taqiyya.
All the way through. It is a feature.

Yes. He is a terrorist straight through.
He has to 86 the original statements (multiple ones) NOW so that he can run for president later.
There is precedent.
Maybe like Barky’s mentions long before it really mattered saying he was a Foreigner.
One has to dig hard to ever find out the truth.
“…I grew up spending most of my summers in another country where I understood what it meant not to have the right to self-govern,” El-Sayed told the audience.”
Both the Dems and the “Democratic Socialists” are (shockingly, to me) successfully convincing an awfully lot of people here – citizens and not citizens – that that is the kind of country we live in now. I continue to be shocked at their success and wonder if it is truly the gullability of supporters, their complete lack of awareness or education, or the manipulation of money from the Soros’ and Neville Roy Singham et al to create that perception. I don’t particularly care about the citizenship of El-Sayed, but I do care that this is one very big choreographed operation that has permeated our society. Oh, and I must not omit our “education” system (in quotes because it’s become more of an indoctrination system of most things antithetical to what this great country, warts and all, was built on. I can’t imagine what my father, a member of America’s Greatest Generation, and also a Jew, would think observing what is happening today. Or those families who lost family members fighting in WWII against the madness of such evil, hate, libel against large swathes of society,…. I always loved learning, but I don’t think anything prepared me for what is happening now…
