BREAKING: LOVE IT! Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed reveals that bigot JD Vance will be forced to swear him in on a Qur'an in January! And it gets even better... "I will likely swear on the Qur'an. Which Qur'an, we're not sure. I mean, Thomas Jefferson had a copy of the Qur'an," El-Sayed told NPR. "So, when Keith Ellison was sworn in to Congress, he swore in on that copy. "There's also the first, the University of Michigan holds the first Qur'an in the state of Michigan. It's very, very old," he added. "And that might be the choice. So, I don't know, but I'll swear on the Qur'an." El-Sayed will be the first Muslim to serve in the U.S. Senate. His victory was especially sweet because the Republicans ran the most racist, Islamophobic campaign in recent memory against him. Trump called him a "jihadist lunatic" who was "on the side of terrorists." His opponent Mike Rogers also tried to paint him as a terrorist. Vance, whose role as Vice President makes him responsible for swearing in the new senators, called El-Sayed "very, very evil," accused him of wanting Sharia law in America, tried to rhetorically link him to 9/11, and stood by Trump's hateful attacks. "I hope he doesn't make it awkward. There is, as I said, a delicious irony in the fact that he is constitutionally obligated to swear me in," said El-Sayed. The fact that El-Sayed was able to triumph over these smear merchants proves that Americans are exhausted with culture war rubbish and cynical race-baiting. Michiganders don't care that he's Muslim, they care that he wants to get money out of politics, money in their pockets, and Medicare for All. To his immense credit, El-Sayed weathered the slings and arrows from these cretins with confidence and aplomb, regularly steering the conversation back to the issues when all they wanted to talk about was his Arabic name. "The opposition decided to make my name such an issue and my faith such an issue," said El-Sayed. "And so, you know, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is as American as Mike Rogers. It's as American as Donald Trump. It's as American as whatever JD stands for. It is an American name." We cannot wait to see this man sworn into the Senate! Which Qur'an do you think he should choose? Please ❤️ and share if you're a proud supporter of Abdul El-Sayed!
