If you intend to support people who are sad over the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, that tells you all you need to. While it is one thing to disagree on the conflict in Iran, it is a whole other level when you condone a deceased authoritarian leader who was responsible for some of the worst modern-day human rights violations in history. This is exactly what Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed did.

El-Sayed was caught on recording claiming that he will not be making public statements about the assassination of Khamenei because "there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad.” And again, that tells you all you need to know.

According to the Free Beacon:

Michigan's left-wing Democratic Senate candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, told staffers he wanted to avoid making a public statement about the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—or taking any public position on it at all—because "there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad" about his death, according to audio from a private campaign strategy call obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The question now is whether or not he is sad about the assassination. And based on the evidence, it would appear that the answer is, in fact, yes. But draw your own conclusions.

If reporters pressed him to take a position, he said, he would change the subject to Donald Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. "I'm just gonna go straight to pedophilia, frankly," El-Sayed said. "I'll just be like, 'Pedophile president decides that he doesn't like the front page news, so he decides to take us into another war.'"

This is exactly what the left does. When they have no response, they resort to ad hominem attacks, lies, and red herring arguments to distract from the issue at hand. This is not only disingenuous and a disservice to the people he claims to represent, but it proves just how pathetic he truly is.

"I also want to remind you guys that there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today. So, like, I just don't want to comment on Khamenei at all. Like, I don't think it's worth even touching that," El-Sayed told his campaign team.

The issue is not whether people are sad — it is whether or not those feelings are valid. Common sense would tell you that it is not, which would imply he is taking the side of those who support authoritative regimes, all under the fake guise of compassion. And to call that the best representation of liberalism would be an understatement.
