Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed was ripped six ways from Sunday over his message marking the 25th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n

On Friday, as America engaged in solemn remembrance for the day that will forever live in infamy, the Michigan Muslim threw in his two cents despite the murderous attack being carried out by fellow practitioners of the so-called \u201creligion of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToday on 9\/11, we remember and honor the lives that were taken from us in a terrible act of terrorism. Nothing can justify the murder of innocent civilians. Nothing,\u201d El-Sayed wrote in an X post, sharing a short video of his spiel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t just attack America that day; they attacked the idea of America,\u201d the candidate said in a video posted to social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe notion of a nation brought together by ideals \u2014 a place where freedom and commitment to justice bind us, even if, at times, we struggle to fully realize it,\u201d El-Sayed continued. \u201cToday on 9\/11 we remember the lives that were taken from us in a terrible act of terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n

The candidate has taken much flak for his decision to campaign with firebrand streamer Hasan Piker, a man who has opined that America \u201cdeserved 9\/11.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reaction from X users was scorching hot, with many zinging El-Sayed over his chummy relationship with Piker and the hypocrisy of chiming in on 9\/11 while refusing to distance himself from the deplorable nephew of \u201cYoung Turks\u201d founder Cenk Uygur.<\/p>\n

Others noted that some very important context was missing.<\/p>\n

\n

What, exactly, was the ideology that caused the terrorists to commit terrorist attacks against this country?<\/p>\n

Be specific.<\/p>\n

What kind of terrorists? Basque separatists? Irish Catholic nationalists? I\u2019m so confused. Why would anyone do this?<\/p>\n

Never forget? But you forgot to tell us the identity and ideology of the terrorists\u2026<\/p>\n

Let me correct this for you \u201cToday on 9\/11, we remember and honor the lives that were taken from us in a terrible act of ISLAMIC EXTREAMISM terrorism. Nothing can justify the murder of innocent civilians. Nothing.<\/p>\n

Still others suggested that this year\u2019s 9\/11 message smacks of pure political cynicism.<\/p>\n

\n

You don\u2019t get to spend years lecturing Americans about what WE did after 9\/11 and then suddenly discover \u201cNever Forget\u201d when you\u2019re running for Senate.<\/p>\n

Nearly 3,000 innocent Americans were murdered by terrorists.<\/p>\n

Amazing what an election can do for your memory.<\/p>\n

This is a completely different message than he sent on prior 9\/11 anniversaries, where he chose to mourn the victims in Afghanistan. Those posts are deleted.<\/p>\n

This one was written by political consultants. The ones he deleted were what he really thinks. https:\/\/t.co\/A52VZLSKvB<\/a><\/p>\n

Considering the religion of the 9\/11 perpetrators and his choice of friends, perhaps the good doctor should have just sat this one out.<\/p>\n
