Are we sure Tommy doesn't work for El-Sayed's campaign because Tommy did him a huge favor. With one question Tommy makes himself look like a fool who is incapable of any type of deeper thought while at the same time he gave El-Sayed a viral video in which he denounces terror, defends the rights of all Americans and looks great while doing so. I mean Trump is definitely going to be obsessing on how great he looks in those jeans.

Clearly what Tommy fears the most is someone else doing what he wants to do.
What Christian Nationalists plan to do.

He really does look great in those jeans.

-From the stage, El-Sayed met it with steely resolve. "Why are you asking the question?" he replied. "What are you implying?"
I think everyone knows what's being questioned/implied. His religion is fine, but the practices are questionable. Clownshack may have to expat if these radicals get elected, though. Along with Snoofy and every woman who doesn't cover her face or may be accused of adultery. Hell, even handling a cucumber or a zucchini could land them in a beating.

Have you ever read your own bible and see what it says about such matters? Quit being such an ignorant moron about your own religion.

The Bronze Age called...they'd like their pre-B.C. ghost story(s) back. On topic, has anyone found which congress critter the young man works for? I mean, the whole "Gotcha!" thing seems to be rather in vogue lately, eh?

Actually, he's a Republican operative who was paid $200 to go there and ask that question. Every accusation is a confession. I love that he's such a p...sy that he sulks out without having the guts to stay until the end.

Yes. What's your point? To build a straw man? I've read a lot of religious documents it it doesn't mean I subscribe to any of them.

what's being questioned/implied. #5 | Posted by lfthndthrds ^ "If I see a Black pilot, I'm gonna be like, 'Boy, I hope he's qualified.'" -- Charlie Kirk
The implication that Blacks aren't as qualified a Whites? That implication doesn't sound racist, when you're a MAGA.

Q. What do you call a woman with one black eye? . . . A. A good listener.
And if you think that's funny, just try and imagine telling White Christian Americans their joke was imported from Iran!

"Tommy did him a huge favor"
Yes he did.
It allowed him to distance himself from radical extremism.
which of course he's getting hit with.

The kid asking the question... is literally a paid protestor. And also a Nepo Baby. Since his father is the founder of America Next PAC.
Conservative PAC offering College Republicans $200 to heckle at Abdul El-Sayed rally, group chat messages seem to show www.michigandaily.com
Finally, it should be noted that "America Next" is a line from the anti-fascist Woody Guthrie "Lindbergh" about the famous American Nazi Charles Lindbergh: "They say America First, but they mean America Next"
Republicans are straight up telling us they are fascists.

Yes, the same people allege he aligns with conservative muslim jihadists in one breath and then accuse him of being a woke leftist in the next. Those people are not serious people.

Why hasn't Dr. Oz disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood?
