“I Don’t Give a F*ck Who You Are!” El-Sayed Staffer Tries to Assault James O’Keefe and Has to be Restrained in Wild Confrontation

James O’Keefe was almost physically assaulted when he confronted the Abdul El-Sayed campaign staffer who revealed El-Sayed is taking illegal foreign donations.

The O’Keefe Media Group on Monday released an undercover video of a campaign official for Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed admitting that El-Sayed knowingly receives illegal donations from overseas.

Foreign nationals are prohibited from making campaign contributions.

“You know, he [Abdul El Sayed] has people from overseas that donate to him,” Abdul Beckwith, Regional Field Organizer for Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign, said.

When asked whether overseas donations were prohibited, Beckwith responded, “No, it is not allowed,” before describing a hypothetical arrangement in which overseas money passes through a family member.

Beckwith said, “And then people overseas give money to him. And then he gives money to you. It’s that type of thing.”

He then added, “Everybody does it!”

Abdul El-Sayed Trashed Flint, Michigan, Residents in 2016 Clip

Michigan Democrat U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed questioned why anyone would want to live in Flint, Michigan, during a 2016 appearance before a largely white Boston University audience, according to a report.

El-Sayed, the former Detroit health director, offered his views on the majority-black city while answering a question about relocating residents after Flint’s 2014 lead-contaminated water crisis, the outlet reported. Conservative journalist Chuck Ross first surfaced the remarks on Washington Free Beacon.

Speaking at the health policy symposium, El-Sayed recounted how Flint residents describe their attachment to the city.

“You talk to folks in Flint, they love Flint, right, and you’re like, ‘What the—why?’” El-Sayed said.

The progressive candidate said residents stay because the city is home, drawing a comparison to his own decision to move to Detroit. He recalled that colleagues questioned the choice after he left Columbia University in New York.

“To Detroit of all places,” he said people told him. “If you’re going to Cali, I get it, but Detroit? Their winters are worse than ours. There’s nothing there.”

Abdul El-Sayed Campaign Official Reveals El-Sayed Knowingly Receives Illegal Donations from Overseas

The O’Keefe Media Group on Monday released an undercover video of a campaign official for Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed admitting that El-Sayed knowingly receives illegal donations from overseas.

Foreign nationals are prohibited from making campaign contributions.

“You know, he [Abdul El Sayed] has people from overseas that donate to him,” Abdul Beckwith, Regional Field Organizer for Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign, said.

When asked whether overseas donations were prohibited, Beckwith responded, “No, it is not allowed,” before describing a hypothetical arrangement in which overseas money passes through a family member.

Beckwith said, “And then people overseas give money to him. And then he gives money to you. It’s that type of thing.”

He then added, “Everybody does it!”

Beckwith also told the OMG undercover journalist that Abdul El-Sayed could lose support if he publicly denounces Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood, a designated terrorist organization.

El-Sayed’s sister has publicly claimed that their family has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

“So that’s the whole thing. So when Abdul is going to denounce that [Muslim Brotherhood], they’re [Muslims] going to think that he is siding with the genociders,” Beckwith said.

Beckwith also said he is concerned that El-Sayed is surrounded by too many whites and Jews and may adopt their mannerisms.

“There’s a lot of white people around [El-Sayed]. A lot of Jewish people around him. And when you’re around a certain group of people for so long, you absorb the ideology, the mannerisms, everything like that,” he said.

Beckwith warned, “[Whites and Jews] are going to hijack him and then in a year he’s going to be doing what they want with him.”

When the OMG journalist asked whether El-Sayed might abandon his promises, Beckwith responded, “I think, yeah.”

University of Michigan voting hub where foreign student illegally voted remains active

The location where a student illegally voted at the University of Michigan in the last election remains active heading into this month’s midterm voting, prompting some election integrity concerns.

In 2024, 19-year-old Chinese national Haoxiang Gao was charged with voting illegally in the 2024 presidential election at a voting site set up in the university’s Museum of Art. He has since fled the country.

Currently the museum is listed as one of two “Campus Voting Hubs,” where early voting will start Oct. 21 and run through Nov. 1 and will be open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

The University of Michigan’s media relations division did not respond to requests from The College Fix asking what measures have been taken to ensure that no illegal voting occurs at the museum site again.

As The College Fix previously reported, Gao had allegedly registered and voted at the University of Michigan under lax procedures around same-day and early voting opportunities. He signed the voter registration application stating he was a U.S. citizen, according to the feds.

Jason Rogers, chairman of the Washtenaw County GOP, told The College Fix that “Michigan’s rules make incidents like the Gao case (and similar problems) too easy.”

“Same-day registration relies mostly on someone simply checking a box saying they’re a citizen, with no documentary proof of citizenship required,” he said via email.

“On top of that, a student only needs 30 days of residency to register at a campus address. They can vote absentee or early in their home state and then register and vote here with almost no real-time check that they haven’t already voted elsewhere.”

Rena Basch, director of elections for Washtenaw County, did not respond to a request from The College Fix asking what measures they are taking to ensure illegal voting does not occur at the University of Michigan’s polling sites during the current election cycle.

Michigan has one of the most high-profile and hotly contested U.S. Senate races in the nation, with Democrat Abdul El-Sayed running against Republican Mike Rogers. The polls show El-Sayed with a slight lead among likely voters in what is perhaps the most-watched race in the country, with implications for control of the Senate and the future of the Democratic Party.

‘It just keeps getting better’: Americans roast Abdul El-Sayed for his research on ‘risks’ of interracial mating

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan who has never had a medical practice, is being roasted online now that his own research is unearthed, claiming “risks” for Arab mothers engaged in “interethnic mating.”

El-Sayed the primary author in the 2011 paper titled “Interethnic mating and risk for preterm birth among Arab-American mothers: Evidence from the Arab-American Birth Outcomes Study.”

It examined the negative result of “preterm birth” when people of differing races and ethnicities procreate.

His research focused on Arab mothers having children with non-Arab fathers.

The research alleged: “Genetic factors have been the primary explanation posited for the association between interracial mating (black father, white mother) and risk of adverse birth outcomes. This explanation has built on the well-recognized observation that black race is associated with increased risk for PTB after adjusting for potential medical, psychosocial, and behavioral confounders.”

The study said “interethnic mating was associated with higher risk for PTB and late PTB among Arab-Americans, a growing ethnic group” while indicating “studies about the birth outcomes of Hispanic interethnic couples are needed.”

National Republican Senatorial Committee Communications Director Joanna Rodriguez told the Post Millennial regarding El-Sayed’s research: “It’s ironic that a radical Muslim with documented ties to designated terrorist organizations is scared of interracial mating. Does Abdul El-Sayed stand by his racist fearmongering?”

“No wonder he was so nasty to Usha Vance,” said Will Chamberlain, senior counsel at the Article III Project. “The very concept of brown women marrying white men infuriates him.”

These are the people who are calling you a fascist.

I want to look at these signature cases, and not just focus on the president, but on the people who enabled him.

I want young people coming out of school to say, should I go work for the Trump administration? Like, that sounds fun, I might get an opportunity.

Obama to Stump for Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan — Having Once Put His Sister-in-Law on a Terror Watchlist!

Barack Obama is preparing to campaign for far-left Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

Obama is scheduled to appear alongside El-Sayed in Detroit on October 24 as Democrats battle to retain the Michigan Senate seat against Republican Mike Rogers.

However, court records indicate El-Sayed’s sister-in-law previously sued the federal government over her alleged inclusion on a terrorism watchlist during Obama’s presidency.

Mariam Jukaku, the sister of El-Sayed’s wife, Sarah, participated in two federal lawsuits back in 2016 challenging her placement on the government’s Terrorist Screening Database.

The lawsuits were brought with assistance from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an organization that supports those with ties to Islamism.

AOC Says Discussing Abdul El-Sayed’s Reported Ties to the Muslim Brotherhood is… RACIST!

Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York recently spoke to a reporter for TMZ in DC – an outlet that is obviously becoming one of her favorites – and explained that talking about Abdul El-Sayed’s alleged family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood is (drumroll please) racist.

To hear AOC explain it, Abdul El-Sayed is a victim here, because his family had some struggles when he was a little boy. Oh and also, if you examine anyone’s life hard enough, won’t you find some questionable connections? She actually tries to make this point.

For the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), this is probably the most important race in this election cycle. They think that if they can drag El-Sayed over the finish line in Michigan, they can do it anywhere in the country. For them, this is an important test case.

From TMZ:

AOC on Abdul El-Sayed – Racist Muslim Brotherhood Claims Are Dirty Politics!!!

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is coming out swinging for Abdul El-Sayed … calling claims linking the Michigan senatorial candidate to the Muslim Brotherhood flat-out racist.

Charlie got AOC on Friday at a Culver’s in Michigan, where she’s been campaigning for El-Sayed … and he asked whether the Muslim Brotherhood controversy was rooted in reality or racism.

AOC didn’t mince words … saying the allegations fall “into racist very clearly” and blasting critics for dragging El-Sayed’s painful family history into politics…

AOC points out El-Sayed’s parents split shortly after he was born, and he grew up without his mother … arguing just about everyone has relatives who’ve made questionable choices, but that doesn’t mean those choices define them.

And AOC isn’t budging on her support … calling El-Sayed “one of the most patriotic people” she’s ever met.

In Rare Move, DOJ Files Statement of Interest in Michigan Trial Court — Tells Judge Poll Book Data Are Federal Election Records Jocelyn Benson Must Preserve

The U.S. Department of Justice has taken the highly unusual step of filing a Statement of Interest in a Michigan trial-court case — telling the Court of Claims that electronic poll book data, including all metadata, are federal election records and that Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is responsible for preserving them.

Statements of Interest from the Justice Department in pure state-court cases are rare. It is even rarer for DOJ to intervene at the trial-court level rather than on appeal. It is rare for the department to appear in a state trial court at all. The only recent election example is a 2022 Wisconsin circuit court case over absentee ballot witness addresses.

The filing lands in the middle of Bridgewater Township Clerk Michelle McQueer’s lawsuit challenging Benson’s rule that forces clerks to delete electronic poll book files just seven days after an election is certified.

SHOCKING REVELATION: Unearthed Video Shows Soros-Funded Candidate Jocelyn Benson Explaining How She Worked Undercover for SPLC—Was an Informant for The FBI

In an unearthed video, Michigan Secretary of State and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jocelyn Benson can be seen campaigning for her first run for secretary of state in Michigan in 2010. The event was held in Houghton, Michigan, at a Democratic Party office. At the time, Benson was new to politics, but somehow caught the attention of George Soros, who apparently saw someone he aligned with in his quest to destroy everything good and decent about America and helped fund her campaign. To date, 4 members of the Soros family, including George Soros, have contributed a whopping $33,120 to Jocelyn Benson’s current 2026 Michigan gubernatorial campaign.

Jocelyn Benson is seen standing in front of what appears to be a kitchen, addressing a crowd of fellow Democrats. During her introduction, Benson said she was raised in Pennsylvania and that, after graduating from Harvard Law School in 2004, she worked for the Southern Poverty Law Center in Alabama. Although their stated mission is to root out “hate groups,” many believe the SPLC is in and of itself a “hate group,” used to target conservative groups by mislabeling and mischaracterizing them in an effort to destroy their credibility.

Benson doesn’t explain exactly how she became an FBI informant through her undercover work for the SPLC, but she makes sure to include this little tidbit in her resume when addressing potential voters.
