America Hater Abdul El-Sayed stands by criticism of fireworks, will outlaw them as Senator
Democratic Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed defended his past controversial comments about Fourth of July fireworks during a radio appearance Monday.
While appearing on "The Breakfast Club," El-Sayed was asked by host Charlamagne tha God about his previous support for defunding the police and criticism of firework celebrations on Independence Day. El-Sayed pushed back against the criticism.
"They're coming at me on fireworks," El-Sayed said. "I'm like, 'All right, first, if your whole conception of America is that it's fireworks, I'm so sorry. You don't have a complete conception of America. But even then, right, like what is it?'"
The video allegedly included four reasons "why fireworks suck" and a chapter titled "Fireworks just aren't worth it: hear us out."
"This guy spent hours hating on what most Michiganders would enjoy in their pastimes, and he should be held to account for that," Rogers said. "These are views that he held, that he was pretty strong about, but he knew that he had to delete them all& If people really knew who he was, they wouldn't vote for him."
Fox News Digital reached out to the El-Sayed campaign for comment.
Roger communications director Alyssa Brouillet remarked to Fox News Digital, saying, "Look, Abdul already admitted he loves Egypt more than America. No one is buying the clean up on aisle 9."
