Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers on Sunday, a major shakeup in the final stages of a top battleground race that could determine which party controls the Senate.
“Hey, Michigan, as you may have seen, our Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, Abdul, said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away,” Stevens said in a video.
“And he’s right, and that’s why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today,” she said. “I don’t belong in Abdul’s campaign.”
The congresswoman’s announcement marks a whirlwind turnabout from just days ago, when she said she would support her party’s ticket and planned to attend a campaign event on Sunday to support Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
But leading up to the rally, Stevens and El-Sayed released dueling critical public statements, prompting concerns from Democrats that the spat was a distraction from what is widely seen as one of the most competitive Senate races.
Stevens had said that she expected El-Sayed to condemn an ad from an outside group that she said was antisemitic. El-Sayed responded, accusing Stevens of being “intent on relitigating a primary that ended three months ago.”
NBC News reported Saturday that El-Sayed’s campaign had asked Stevens to no longer attend campaign events following the dueling statements.
Three months ago:
Friends, after consulting with my fiancé, we are going to let that happen. Sorry for the confusion.
How do you get to a point in your life where the only actual belief you have is supporting the Zionist Entity and everything else can be ignored or lied about
Holy shit. I should really stop being surprised by how much money is thrown at politicians by Zionist orgs but it always surprises me.
Fuckin inflation out of control, I remember when you could buy influence for the cost of nice sedan
yeah, that’s not “rent” money. she got bought out entirely.

Stevens had said that she expected El-Sayed to condemn an ad from an outside group that she said was antisemitic.
This is referring to an ad produced by Cenk Uygur. Cenk owns a pac called Rebellion PAC. Rebellion PAC is not affiliated with Abdul El Seyed or Hasan Piker (Cenk’s Nephew). It would be illegal Abdul El Sayed to be affiliated with Rebellion PAC because of pac regulation laws.
Cenk was paying for the ad to be played on Michigan television. The ad shows a couple grocery shopping and the woman tells the man to put back groceries because the US government is spending their money on Israel. The ad then says that Mike Rogers wants to give your money to Israel. Haley Stevens said the ad is anti-Semitic.
This is the video of the ad. The wife says “You’re gonna have to put the eggs back because we have to set the $7 aside for killing Palestinians.” “Apparently it’s costing us a lot of money to drop bombs on Gaza.” The husband says “Why the f*** do we have to pay for all of this?”
Fucking Cenk, bro makes a fire ad and then just decides to sprinkle a lil transphobia on at the end. Like wtf dude come on
Yeah the “they/them” line is a fumble but while that line is played, it shows photos of Benjamin Netanyahu, Bezalel Smotrich, and Itamar Ben-Gvir. So the ad is referring to Israel politicians, not trans people. The ad should have just said “them” and not “they/them”.
The “they/them” line is a satire of a Trump campaign ad. Maybe Cenk was thinking “blame israel, not trans people”. I don’t know. The ad should have just said “them”.
Yeah, the they/them line felt like a joke for a certain type of “politics fan” that would just slightly confuse the normies these ads are supposed to reach. Like it’s intended for the meta-discourse, not for voters.
But whatever, the ad was fine imo, and calling it “anti-semitic” is massively out of touch. Go ahead and get mad. The more Israel stays the dominant topic the better for AES anyway.
That isn’t transphobia. He totally would do that and he’s a piece of shit, but it’s a flat misreading of the ad to call it transphobic. If I had to assign a position to it, I’d say it’s more plausible to call it defensive of trans people as far as repurposing the rhetoric of an actually transphobic ad based on othering trans people and essentially saying “there is a real ‘other’ that some politicians have a wrongful fealty to, but it’s Israel [not some cabal of trans people]”.
I don’t understand how this can be construed as antisemitic? This whole thing is so dumb. I don’t give AF about Zionists’ religion. I care that my money is letting them bomb and murder babies
The immediate line was to call the pointed use of “them” a trope (which is a malicious misreading), but Stevens takes it much farther and says that the premise of connecting funding Israel to the rising cost of living is antisemitic.
Liberals 🤝 fascists
And I don’t even like AES because he’s also an annoying liberal who is constantly lying about everything, he’s just slightly to the left of Stevens.
And I don’t even like AES
but I wanted to call him an antisemite at his unity rally for not liking genocide and he wouldn’t let me!Oh hey I’ve never seen this before
Surely moderate democrats and republicans aren’t teaming up to defeat the progressive
Obama campaigned with him lol. This is just pure “israel” dedication.
Ahh of course. I should’ve figured, he’s talked about being a capitalist in multiple occasions
At least he’s mentioned Palestine
He’s basically Liz Warren lol
It’s made international news. Front page BBC has Hailey Stevens defecting to Rogers above kids being slaughtered by
.
Hamas-run
FUCK YOU THEY ARE THE LEGITIMATELY-ELECTED GOVERNMENT AND ARMED RESISTANCE AGAINST OCCUPATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN LEGAL UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
Her own party’s voters already showed her the door, why would they listen to her endorsement?
I think she’s shooting for a cushy job in the Trump administration
She did still get a meaningful share of the vote. It wasn’t inconceivable that she could at least undermine AES’s margin of victory, but from what I’ve seen most Dems were deeply repulsed by her behavior even before she endorsed Rogers. She might still knock off a few percentage points, but the use of that would normally be “See? Progressives are Electoral weak!” and that argument is just transparent nonsense even to a normal dem when she has literally endorsed the Republican. The “but progressives aren’t electable” strategy is burning before our eyes in spectacular fashion because of Stevens’s incompetence.
Does she have any supporters who are so committed to her that endorsing a Republican wouldn’t be a huge turn off? This might wind up turning more people out against her than anything.
She is absolutely turning more people against her than persuading voters, and she probably even knew that that’s what would happen, but the point isn’t for her to be popular, it’s to pander to zionist dems to scrape off a few of Abdul’s voters. It’s a pathetic kamikaze attack.
My God. Saw a joke about NYT possibly writing articles like “the progressive case for Trump.” if Bernie won the primaries. Now it’s becoming real.
New type of guy: edgy 4channer going woke after realizing more people are offended at the left.
That guy ain’t new, I’ve been here for years… 🚬😔
That’s not a new guy, that’s resurrecting past 4channers. There was definitely bigotry in their pro-lgbt rhetoric, but the only friends I’ve had that I knew were trans were a couple AOL instant messenger penpals I met over 4chan. I didn’t talk much at all about transness with either of them and I’m not sure it corrected any of my own ignorance (one of them I literally can’t tell you what their gender was because I think there’s a high chance I was assigning “her” the wrong pronouns), but in retrospect 4chan back then was an online community where posters were more comfortable being open about that.
blue no matter who! Unless, you know…That’s such a weird move to pull right after Obama campaigned with El-Sayed. Putting yourself against the only popular centrist democrat in the country can’t be a smart career move.
I have to imagine it’s just a matter of sticking by your boss. Both campaigns are rhetorically and materially backed by the Entity, so I imagine her only purpose was to make sure both sides of the ticket were Zionist. With that goal lost, it’s time to head back to base.
New from Drop Site News. Mike Rogers campaign has Israeli handlers. Haley Steven appeared publicly with Mike Rogers and the Israeli handler.
Abigail Ronson, a spokesperson for the Mike Rogers campaign, is a registered foreign agent for the state of Israel—one of two foreign agents working on the Rogers campaign, according to a review of foreign agent registration records.

Unexpected W for electoralism, but I’m sure it’ll be undone in the general
