As we approach the 25th remembrance of the events of 9/11, many people are simultaneously thinking about the 2026 midterm elections.

The two events have become intertwined in a unique way this year, because Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed spent nearly the entire primary campaigning with radical leftist Hasan Piker, who said that America deserved 9/11.

El-Sayed has tried to do damage control by distancing himself from Piker, but his efforts haven’t been very successful because everyone knows the two remain friends.

While El-Sayed has already said many controversial things himself, what he wrote about 9/11 in 2021 should be disqualifying for holding public office in the United States of America.

Arab America News reprinted this article El-Sayed wrote in 2021 for the anniversary of 9/11, (emphasis is ours):

The terrorists who attacked our country that day only exploited Islam as a pretext for an act of violence rooted in tribalistic grievance. They wanted chaos. The attacks sent our country into writhing convulsions of fury. Whether the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the stunning decimation of our civil liberties or the polarization of American society, of which we are yet suffering the consequences today.

The logic of the post-9/11 era sacrificed our basic collective liberties, most of all against Muslim Americans. A whole new edifice of control, the Department of Homeland Security, was created in order to marshal the full might of a sprawling security state that confused ethnicity and faith for mal-intent. Shining its spotlight harshly on Arabs, South Asians and Africans, it deliberately left the greatest threat to our security in the shadows — missing the most common source of American terrorism, “homegrown” and “radicalized” White men.

We fought 20 years of collective war through which we violated the basic rights of millions of non-combatants to make home, live prosperously and thrive in the places in which they were born. Hundreds of thousands lost their lives. Thousands of U.S. service members and contractors died, too — most of them back home. Among veterans of these wars, death by suicide has been four times as common as death on the battlefield.

In an echo of the worst of our history — the decimation of Native Americans, the Transatlantic Slave Trade, Jim Crow segregation, Japanese interment — we did all of that in the name of an America founded on the self-evident truths that “all men are created equal.” Though the past 20 years have obscured their light, those ideals remain as luminescent as they were when they inspired our parents and our parents’ parents to come to these shores.

So to recap:
1. White men are the biggest terrorism threat.
2. Muslims were the biggest victims of post-9/11 policies.
3. Equates post-9/11 America with slavery, Jim Crow, etc.

This man not only hates America, he does not understand it or its history.
