Abdul El-Sayed has a problem. Well, he actually has a bunch of problems, including his history of rampant radicalism, his questionable group of friends and family, and the ever-confusing question of whether he was ever an actual doctor.

But his main problem as he circles one of Michigan's seats in the U.S. Senate like a left-wing vulture? Hasan Piker.

Now, Hasan Piker is a chunk of human waste wrapped in Prada floating across the bottom of the barrel that is our media ecosystem. The Democratic Party — and particularly the progressive wing — have embraced him like teenage fans drooling over their favorite pop star, despite his various pearls of wisdom that include gushing over Chairman Mao Zedong, his support for Hamas and his declaration that "America deserved 9/11."

As if there was any doubt on this particular front, he even proudly displayed a newspaper front page from Sept. 12, 2001, on his studio wall.

And that's before we get to the classic millionaire socialist routine that seems to be a prerequisite for anyone hoping to make a name for themselves these days.

Like so many in the left-wing arena, Abdul El-Sayed was delighted to have Hasan Piker in his corner during his primary election campaign, with Piker starring at his campaign events. But now that El-Sayed needs the support of voters who aren't far-left deranged lunatics, he's suddenly experiencing a moment of clarity? How convenient.

After Piker suggested that people may "take action" against Jews — which is actually quite vanilla for Piker — El-Sayed rushed to action.

"My commitment to Jewish safety is the same as my commitment to the safety of my own daughters. Antisemitism is a scourge, and we need to address it in all its forms. And I stand against any rhetoric that puts the community at risk," El-Sayed said in a statement on social media. "But I want to be crystal clear, nobody speaks for this campaign besides me and my campaign spokespeople. And while politicians and pundits try to make this race about a Twitch streamer, we're going to be talking about gas, groceries, good schools, and healthcare."

Given that El-Sayed's commitment to Jewish safety includes his explanation that a Lebanese Islamic terrorist tried to murder Jewish children in Michigan because his relatives were killed by the Israeli military in Lebanon — all without mentioning that some of these relatives were apparently in Hezbollah — this really isn't quite the punchline he thinks it is.

The truth is that El-Sayed has absolutely no problem with Piker.

After all, where was this concern when Piker called for his supporters to murder his political enemies and "let the streets soak in their f——— capitalist blood"? This was not only immeasurably worse than a comparatively vague call for people to "take action" against Jews, but it was made before Piker was embraced by El-Sayed at his campaign events,

El-Sayed doesn't care about Jews, and you're naive or stupid if you think otherwise. What he cares about is doing whatever it takes to win. So he'll tell certain audiences what he thinks they want to hear, all while he keeps giving Hasan Piker foot rubs backstage.

The only question is whether enough voters in Michigan will be fooled by Abdul El-Sayed, who is the latest of a long string of grinning Islamofascist chameleons desperate to do whatever it takes to gain power.
