On August 24, Abdul El-Sayed sat down with Fox News’ Jesse Watters and was asked about gender affirming surgeries for minors. During the exchange, the Michigan Democratic Senate candidate said the government shouldn’t get involved in the trans medical procedures.To prove his point, El-Sayed, 41, asked the Jesse Watters Primetime host:“Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised?”Watters, 48, was visibly taken aback when Abdul pressed him, “Jesse, are you?” That’s when the conservative political commentator responded:“Yeah, yeah, but I mean, that’s a personal question — doctor.”When Abdul El-Sayed suggested that Jesse Watters should probably “want to move on,” the latter clapped back:“Circumcision is different than castration!”El-Sayed, who is an epidemiologist, added that it becomes a “problem” when the conservatives think it’s okay to outlaw gender affirming surgeries but not circumcisions.“I’m just saying that yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid’s ding-a-ling. So, if you really want to bring that up, you can… I just think you guys are really selective about these things,” El-Sayed explained.Meanwhile, Jesse Watters described Abdul’s viewpoints as “wacky” and “sick,” before adding, “Michigan’s not going for that.”Exploring further Abdul El-Sayed’s interview with Jesse WattersJesse Watters discussed several other topics with Abdul El-Sayed. For instance, he asked the Democrat if he was in favor of “boys playing in girls’ sports,” in reference to trans representation in female sports and ongoing controversy surrounding it.“You have not asked me one time about the issues that people actually care about in Michigan… You can play this game if you want. I just want to understand what you’re getting at here,” El-Sayed replied.Watters reiterated that he was getting at whether the Senate hopeful thinks “men should play in women’s sports” as it is a “big issue.” Abdul responded that the question is “insane” and claimed:“At the end of the day, the decision of who gets to play what sports ought to be decided by the people who govern sports. I’m running for US Senate. Jesse, this is insane.”Elsewhere, the pair argued about ICE raids, Sharia Law, and taxing wealthy Americans.“Nobody is trying to push Sharia law on anyone else, just like I hope nobody is trying to push Canon law on anybody else, because we live in an America where you should have the freedom of your religion. There's statistical evidence that the president and the vice president like to target me simply as a function of my faith,” Abdul told Jesse.The politician also condemned Republican Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, who has proposed the No Sharia Act and the Sharia-Free America Act.“The idea, that you have somebody like Tommy Tuberville – who barely was good at coaching football – is out here trying to ban Sharia Law when there's less than 1% of the Muslim community in America, as if somehow Muslims are out here trying to push Sharia law, that seems to me to be deliberately targeting the Muslim Community, because they're different,” El-Sayed claimed.At one point, the former executive director of the Detroit Health Department put forward his mixed views about the ICE raids. On one hand, he supported arresting criminal illegal immigrants, while on the other hand he advocated for abolishing ICE and suggested the return of the now-defunct Immigration and Neutralization Service (INS) to deal with the immigration issue.When Abdul El-Sayed wouldn’t answer how much it would cost to socialize the healthcare system he has proposed and why he previously called the NFL “racist,” Jesse Watters claimed the Michigan native was playing the “bureaucratic game” and “dodging” key questions.Earlier, on the Ansari Podcast, El-Sayed proposed that people who have more than $100 million should be taxed. In response, Watters said:“What are you going to do with more money? Whatever I want!”Abdul appeared to stand his ground and say average Americans could benefit from tax revenues, which could go into infrastructural and educational development. While he accused the journalist of “defending billionaires,” Jesse stated:“No, I just think I have the right to the fruits of my own labor. That's America. It's not communist what you're talking about.”The liberal lawmaker weighed in:“If we tax you at 7%, you're still going to make what? A cool $30 million off your billion dollars? I think that's okay; they're going to be okay, Jesse.”Jesse and Abdul also argued over reparations for Black Americans and the USA’s foreign policies. The latter claimed reparations “shouldn’t be a crazy thing” and the country should not be fighting wars they don’t know how to “get out of,” seemingly referring to the conflict in the Middle East.Abdul El-Sayed will face Michigan Republican candidate Mike Rogers in the midterm election. He called Rogers a “beta male” on Jesse Watters’ show who thinks he’s running against Hasan Piker. Abdul also made fun of his opponent and claimed he was avoiding interviews.
