Pelosi walks the tightrope on Mamdani and El-Sayed
Shorter version of what Pelosi said: Mamdani and El-Sayed are awful and they are wrong on Israel. But be sure to vote for them anyway.
Excerpt:
[Interviewer] “When you say Israel doesn’t have the right to be a Jewish state, that’s antisemitic as far as I’m concerned with all that,” Deutsch told Pelosi.
When Deutsch pointed to Mamdani and El-Sayed as examples, Pelosi didn’t mince words.
“No, it’s more than concerning,” she responded. “It’s wrong. It’s wrong. And it isn’t a reflection of the Democrats in the Congress of the United States.”
Oh no? It has become standard for Democrats at this point, although Pelosi doesn’t want voters (especially Jewish voters and most particularly Jewish donors) to notice.
But hey, vote for El-Sayed anyway or the big bad Republicans might win:
Nicholas Martin, spokesperson for Pelosi, however, told The Post Friday that Pelosi still “urged everyone in Michigan and across America to support Abdul El-Sayed.”
No glaring contradiction there, right? Because Democrats will be doing great things:
“While they may disagree with [El-Sayed] on some issues, [Pelosi] is united with him in the fight to lower costs, protect healthcare and defend our democracy,” Martin said in a statement.
None of which the Democrats have any intention of doing or any recent record of doing.
That sort of thing explains why Pelosi didn’t support Omar recently, either; I mentioned that fact in this recent post. I strongly doubt her stance is about principle, it’s about retaining Jewish votes in the midterms.
Speaking of El-Sayed:
This might just be the best video on the internet.
Reporter: “What has attracted you to the Mike Rogers campaign?”
Detroit voter: “Well, he’s an American.” https://t.co/7zN41YtbP4

That second guy is, at least for the moment, a political changer. Let’s hope he is not alone.
NOTE: And then there’s El-Sayed supporter Hasan Piker, who recently said:
Abdul El-Sayed surrogate Hasan Piker crashes out over El-Sayed’s canvassers knocking doors in West Bloomfield, Michigan.
Piker compares it to “going to that like Klan KKK neighborhood to stump for like a Black candidate.”
“It’s racial supremacy. It’s Jewish supremacy. What do you think it is? Yeah, clip it and post it.”
Piker, a dual citizen who grew up in Turkey, then rages at a Jewish Democrat in Oakland County who says she is voting for Mike Rogers: “If it’s so dangerous, go live in Israel… You f*** ing idiot. You f*** ing moron… You f***ing psycho.”
That “Detroit voter” is a small sign of sanity in Michigan. Yes, black citizens are American, and El Sayed professes allegiance to a different culture and political/religious system.
Throw away the tightrope. She’s tight most of the time, anyway.
“Still lying after all these years…”
She should walk the plank.
Which puts Jews between a rock and a hard place. Consider what Nasrallah said about Jews and Israel. Hassan Nasrallah: In His Own Words
Consider another Piker screed:
The KKK wanted to do harm to blacks—and often did do harm to blacks. Blacks just wanted to be left alone. There have been numerous examples in the last few years of Muslims attacking Jews in the US. Jews attacking Muslims in the US? Nonexistent, or practically so. So a better analogy to El-Sayed supporters canvassing /stumping in a Jewish neighborhood would be KKK supporters canvassing/stumping in a black neighborhood.
Charlie Kirk: civil discussion with his opponents. Killed.
Hasan Piker: inflammatory rhetoric. Alive and kicking.
POWER!!!!
