Far left Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed appeared on the Martha MacCallum show on FOX News on Monday afternoon and got called out.
MacCallum pointed out that despite all of his negative rhetoric about billionaires and getting money out of politics, El-Sayed has been perfectly happy to take campaign cash from left wing billionaire George Soros.
El-Sayed tried to justify this, claiming it was completely different than what he rails against.
From FOX News:
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed was challenged over his ties to billionaire Democratic mega-donor George Soros after criticizing his Republican opponent Mike Rogers for accepting money from corporations.
“There’s a big difference there,” El-Sayed said during an exclusive interview with “The Story” Monday.
El-Sayed’s graduate education was partially funded by the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans and George Soros’ wealthy nephew, Jeffrey Soros, hosted El-Sayed at a Los Angeles fundraiser last month, according to footage reviewed by Fox News Digital.
As El-Sayed campaigns on a pledge to get “money out of politics,” he was pressed by anchor Martha MacCallum on Monday about whether his relationships with wealthy donors undercut that message.
“When individuals want to give to my campaign, I welcome their support,” he said, defending his relationship with the Soros family.
“You know what I don’t do? I don’t call corporations. I don’t call AIPAC… Individuals who want to support a campaign, that’s different.”…
El-Sayed was further challenged about the $30 million pledged by the Senate Majority PAC to help him get elected.

🚨 OMG. Abdul El Sayed just got brutally CONFRONTED on national TV for demanding we get “money out of politics,” then appearing with the SOROS FAMILY and taking money from huge donors
MACCALLUM: Here you are in LA with the Soros family. How is this not taking money from billionaire oligarchs and power brokers?
ABDUL: I welcome support from individual donors. I don’t call corporations, or AIPAC…*excuses*
MACCALLUM: Chuck Schumer’s PAC gave your campaign $30M. Do you know where that money comes from? Corporations.
ABDUL: *Snarky look on his face*
And there it is.
Every socialist is like this. EVERY SOCIALIST. BERNIE SANDERS INCLUDED.
They will sit there and RAIL against “money in politics,” or the “wealthy”
Then the next day they’re cozying up to Soros and Big Democrat Funders so they can achieve power. IMAGINE THAT.
Vote for Mike Rogers, Michigan!

Democrats claim to want big money out of politics, but it’s nothing more than a talking point for their base.
