El-Sayed Surrogate: Michigan Jews Compared to KKK

Some men should stay off livestreams. Hasan Piker, an Abdul El-Sayed surrogate, went on one Friday and compared canvassing in West Bloomfield, a heavily Jewish Michigan suburb, to a campaign operation in a Ku Klux Klan stronghold. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, a Democrat, called the remarks anti-Semitic, divisive and deeply offensive. When a man compares his neighbors to the Klan, he doesn't get invited to the branding. El-Sayed says the comparison is utterly inappropriate, which is a fine thing to say once it's on tape. Rep. Haley Stevens wants him to pull an ad featuring Tucker Carlson, and El-Sayed says she seems intent on relitigating a primary. That's a whole other can of worms, and I've seen smarter decisions made by a cow stuck in a gate.
