Far-left U.S. Senate nominee Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed (D-MI) reportedly spoke about reasons why Fourth of July fireworks “suck” in a now-deleted YouTube video from two years ago, per CNN.
El-Sayed last week defeated establishment Democrat Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) in the primary “in which the radical transformation of the Democratic Party [was] center stage,” Breitbart News reported.
According to the CNN article published Tuesday, in the deleted video the Muslim leftist was asking viewers if patriotic Americans could mark the occasion without using the traditional fireworks.
He also reportedly attacked the Second Amendment.
The CNN article stated:
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed once asked his YouTube viewers whether Americans could “PLEASE” find another way to celebrate the Fourth of July, in a video promising four reasons “why fireworks suck.”
The since-removed video from July 2024 included a chapter titled “Fireworks just aren’t worth it: hear us out” and cited Detroit’s post-fireworks air quality, the chemicals used in fireworks, their potential to trigger PTSD in veterans, and the risks they pose to children and pets.

In other since-removed clips, El-Sayed argued that the southern border was not among Americans’ five biggest concerns and lambasted Republicans for focusing on it. In another he floated replacing the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms with a constitutional right to health care.
