Willie Geist: ‘They’re Trying To Paint Abdul El-Sayed as Some Kind of an Other Because of His Name and His Faith’

RUSH EXCERPT:

GEIST: "A little Michigan osu feud there, Joe. I mean, going back to vice president J.D. Vance, his comments, calling him a weasel, saying he ought to show a little gratitude to the country. There’s just so much subtext and innuendo and, well, dog whistling there, obviously. I mean, Mike Rogers has gone farther, farther during the debate suggesting terrorist ties and all that. Again, Abdullah al sayed was born in Michigan, raised in Michigan, went to high school in bloomfield hills, went to the University of Michigan, about as American as you can get.”
