Fox News host Jesse Watters fiercely grilled Michigan Democrat Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed over his insane views in a Monday interview that eventually devolved into a discussion about Watters’ circumcised penis.
Appearing on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime,” El-Sayed tried for his part to portray himself as someone who’s not at all radical.
There was just one problem: His views ARE radical.
“You want to abolish ICE,” Watters bluntly told him, referring to U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement.
Listen:
Watters: You want to abolish ice. Who is going to deport the criminal aliens from the country?
El-Sayed: You and I both know that we’ve long before we ever had ICE, we had INS. We were able to enforce our immigration policies without shooting people in the face. We celebrated… pic.twitter.com/D0SwPaAU4W

El-Sayed didn’t deny the accusation.
“So ICE is clearly not working,” he said. “It’s just shooting American citizens in the face, in the back of the head. So if you’re okay with that, then I guess we have to agree to disagree.”
“When I have traveled my state, more people are asking me about how they’re going to afford their gas and groceries. They’re not asking me about immigration,” he later added.
El-Sayed also refused to directly deny that he supports the Green New Deal.
“You’re on the record as backing the Green New Deal, Abdul,” Watters said to him, prompting El-Sayed to defend the radical proposal.

The Michigan Senate candidate later defended burdening the rich with even more taxes.
“The question ultimately is, do you want to drive on good roads, or would you rather have a billionaire make a second billion?” he said. “That’s what Mike Rogers wants. That’s what Donald Trump wants. Apparently, that’s what you want. I think the people in Michigan want something different.”
Watters pushed back hard by noting that, like all Americans, billionaires should have the right to keep most of their own money.
“I just think I have the right to the fruits of my own labor — that’s America,” he said.
Listen:
El-Sayed: I thought you were for the everyday man. If you’re for billionaires, you and I disagree.

When the topic of socialized healthcare came up, El-Sayed repeatedly claimed it’d reduce costs for Americans. That, incidentally, was the same lie that was told by former President Barack Hussein Obama over a decade ago.
“I’m just saying I want to bring your costs down,” the Democrat candidate said. “The price of the program is going to be substantially less for an everyday person who’s out here who can’t afford their healthcare and worried about losing their healthcare with their job. So that’s what I’m focused on.”
Watters pushed back by trying to get El-Sayed to cite exactly how much the government is already spending on healthcare, but to no avail.
“You don’t even know how much money the government spends every year,” he rightly pointed out before arguing that even this exorbitant cost pales in comparison to what the costs would be in a socialized system.
“I think if you spend $4 trillion, everything else is going to get really expensive,” he said. “You’re going to look back at Bidenflation, and you’re going to wish you were back there.”

Later in the interview, Watters pressed El-Sayed over past comments he made suggesting that attempts to ban Sharia law amount to white supremacy.
The Democrat defended himself by arguing he has a right to practice his faith however he wants.
“I don’t begrudge you your right to practice your faith as you choose,” he said. “I don’t know why the idea that I could practice my faith as I choose is a problem.”
He also took a shot at Republicans who want to ban Sharia law.
“So the idea that you have somebody like Tommy Tuberville … out here trying to ban Sharia law when there’s less than 1 percent of the Muslim community in America, as if somehow Muslims are out here trying to push Sharia law, that seems to me to be deliberately targeting the Muslim community,” he said.
Listen:
“Getting rid of Sharia law is White supremacy? Can you explain that one?”

Watters also demanded that El-Sayed explain previous comments he’d made in which he’d suggested he wants to replace the Second Amendment with a right to healthcare.
“I think more people are more worried about whether or not they can see a doctor than whether or not they can have a gun,” the Michigan Senate candidate initially replied.
When Watters accused him of dodging the question, El-Sayed finally let up a little bit.
“I’m perfectly OK with people having their hunting rifles,” he said, ignoring the fact that the Second Amendment covers way more than just rifles. “It’s an important pastime. I’ve got family that goes hunting every single year. But don’t you think we should have a right to health care?”

Watters then asked El-Sayed about sex changes for minors, to which he replied by bringing up circumcision …
“Are you circumcised?” he asked Watters in an attempt to suggest that support for circumcision is equivalent to support for sex changes for kids.
“A circumcision is different than castration!” the Fox News host fired back.
“It’s a problem that you think that you get to decide what happens between a parent, a doctor, and a patient,” El-Sayed pushed back. “And I’m just saying that, yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid’s dingaling.”
