One of the most radical Democratic candidates for office in America seemingly issued a call for violence against President Trump and his supporters yesterday.
As WMUK reported, Senator Bernie Sanders (Socialist-VT) visited Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Saturday as part of his “Fighting Oligarchy” speaking tour.
While there, Comrade Bernie was joined by Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a Muslim and fellow socialist.
While speaking at Western Michigan University’s Miller Auditorium before thousands of Bernie fans, El-Sayed bragged about his ability to supposedly challenge the establishments of both parties before his speech took a dark turn.
“We need Democrats who have the courage to stand up to the power brokers in our own party, let alone Trump and his goons,” El-Sayed said to wild applause. “We don’t back down.”
“When they go low, we don’t go high,” he added as the crowd continued to roar. “We take them to the mud and choke them out!”
Notice how the crowd never stops cheering throughout.

Making this episode more disturbing is the fact that El-Sayed is not some obscure long-shot candidate. Early polls show him neck-and-neck in the Democrat primary with presumed Senate frontrunner, Rep. Haley Stevens.
His campaign has also brought in $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, more than Stevens, and is raking in $24,000 per day.
In addition to his caustic language, El-Sayed’s platform is a far-left dream. He supports abolishing private health insurance, abortion on demand, backs Hamas in its war against Israel, raising taxes, and gender identity propaganda.
