Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive candidate in Michigan’s Democratic U.S. Senate primary, told his staff during a conference call he worried about celebrating the killing of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei because his voters in Dearborn would be “sad” about it.
“I also want to remind you guys that there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today. So, like, I just don’t want to comment on Khamenei at all. Like, I don’t think it’s worth even touching that,” El-Sayed said on the call, the audio of which was released on Monday by the Washington Free Beacon.
Senior investigative reporter for the Free Beacon, Alana Goodman, scooped the news, which was quickly picked up by Republican campaign committees. The Republican National Senatorial Committee shared a clip of El-Sayed’s remarks on social media with an alert icon and the heading: “LEAKED AUDIO FROM ABDUL EL-SAYED ON THE DEATH OF IRAN’S SUPREME LEADER.”

El-Sayed also strategized on how he would dodge questions on the killing of Khamenei, whose regime had massacred thousands of protesters in the weeks prior.
