Michigan Muslim socialist Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed implied that the United States was responsible for the Taliban’s takeover of Kabul and the violence of it just days before the bombing at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan killed 13 American service members, seeming to echo his campaign surrogate Hasan Piker, who said that America was “pound for pound” worse than Al-Qaeda.
In newly discovered tweets, El-Sayed blamed “our country’s imperialism” for conditions in Iran, Iraq, and Yemen, and claimed U.S. sanctions contributed to Iran’s COVID-19 pandemic.
On August 15, 2021, El-Sayed said people should be “concerned with what’s happening in #Kabul today,” but blamed it on “the fateful choice 20 yrs ago to wage endless, aimless war in pursuit of an undefined mission under G. W. Bush.”
El-Sayed posted several times apologias for Middle Eastern terrorists, blaming American “imperialism” for the rise of extremists in Iran and Saudi Arabia.
On January 3, 2020, El-Sayed blamed “[o]ur country’s imperialism” for creating the conditions that led to the Iranian regime, the “circumstances” in Iraq, the destruction of the Iran deal, and emboldening the Saudis in Yemen.
On March 24, 2020, Abdul El-Sayed blamed U.S. sanctions on Iran for contributing to that country’s COVID-19 pandemic.
