Abdul El-Sayed Gets Pressed on Whether He Stands By Past Tweets Where He Called to Defund the Police

RUSH EXCERPT:

EL-SAYED: “So, casey, in my time leading Wayne county‘s department of health, human and veteran services, I had the responsibility of rebuilding a Juvenile detention facility. I raised salaries 35% for workers there to make sure that the public health emergency that we had to call no longer existed. So judge me by my work rather than some deleted tweets, because you know, why did you delete the tweet me across the 100 and I deleted all the tweets because I didn‘t want them to be taken out of context like this so that you could distract from the actual conversation that michiganders really want to have about what they want their leadership to actually fight for them to do.”
