I actually do not care what you think or the questions you ask.
Michigan Senate Democrat candidate Abdul El-Sayed
freaked out after getting asked
a question today. Let's watch that clip.
Are you registered to vote?
Are you registered to vote in the state of Michigan?
Are you registered to vote?
So why would I care to have a conversation with you?
Just explain to me. Why would I care to have a conversation with you?
I'm a journalist. I'm a journalist.
You're a journalist in the UK. You know
how many votes I want to get in the UK?
Zero.
I am never running for office in the UK.
But this election matters. This election matters to the world.
What you think or the questions you ask.
I mean, that's...
So aggressive and nasty.
And that is not the first time that we've seen him act that way.
He freaked out at somebody at a town hall
who was a Michigan voter and got really annoyed
that he was being asked about potential ties
to the Muslim Brotherhood, which is like a
valid question that maybe an average voter would want to know about.
He freaked out at Bret Baier and said,
be a journalist during an interview.
And I feel like if you're in the sort of dating phase,
you know, that's what campaigning is.
You're trying to woo voters and then...
Once you actually get into office,
then you're going to kind of like let your hair down.
So if you're already this toxic and aggressive,
I can't even imagine how nasty he's going
to be if he wins.
You're bidding to be a senator in the United States,
the leader of the free world.
What country are you in?
I'm based in the United States.
No, no, no.
But you report for where?
Where are your viewers?
They're international.
No, no, no.
They are international.
Sky News is not viewed in the United States of America.
It's only viewed in the UK.
We have an international audience.
I'm just going to tell you.
Abdul, is your election not relevant?
Is it not relevant to the UK?
Is your election not relevant to the rest of the world?
Is it not relevant to the rest of the world?
Stop chasing me around, please.
Abdul, I'm not chasing you around.
I'm asking you questions.
He spooks me a little bit, and I also think it's interesting that,
you know, Donald Trump is always criticized
because he's an enemy of the press, and yet, like,
this seems to me to be harassment and intimidation of a reporter,
and it's not the first time that we've seen that from Abdul El-Sayed.
