The killing of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was a good thing, but one progressive candidate thinks his voters might be “sad” about it.
Even leftists who hate President Donald Trump’s every action were forced to admit that the strike that took out Khamenei was a positive thing, but leaked audio of Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed reveals there may be a more radical element in the United States.

🚨LEAKED AUDIO FROM ABDUL EL-SAYED ON THE DEATH OF IRAN’S SUPREME LEADER:
“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.” pic.twitter.com/Ai6JwOw6Fm

“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,” he said on a conference call, first reported on by Washington Free Beacon.
“Like they’re gonna- ‘Isn’t Khamenei a bad guy? Isn’t it great that he’s dead?’ I’m like, first the man was 86 years old, he was going to be dead sometime soon anyway,” the clip continues.
The Beacon additionally reported that El-Sayed believes that Democrats have the “moral high ground” on the issue by saying “no,” it’s not a good thing that Khamenei was killed.
Listen:
“They’re going to try and bait us into saying, ‘Yeah, but isn’t it justified now that they took [Khamenei] out, right? And I just think, for us, we’ve got to be, like, ‘no,'” he is heard saying in another clip.
He also said he was going “to go straight to pedophilia” if reporters ask him to take a position on the killing.
Listen:
“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,'” El-Sayed reportedly said on the call.

Don’t care if they’re sad. I was sad during Obama’s presidency when he funded terrorists. No one cared. I was sad during “Biden’s presidency” when millions of illegals flooded our streets. No one cared. Welcome to America.

Congress must stop screwing round and pass real immigration fixes with the assimilation of immigrants at the top of the list!
People are coming to this country getting freebies, and hating us from the word go!
If you don’t do something about that, things will get much worse.— Kevin McGuire (@AmericanBear76) March 30, 2026
Newflash, Abdul:
The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei directed the regime’s despicable crimes against America and our allies as the head of the world’s leading state-sponsor of terrorism for decades.
You’re a disgrace. https://t.co/C5oEo8HT2w
