Commentator Josh Seiter criticized Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed during a recent discussion, arguing that voters should closely examine what he described as the candidate's political and religious beliefs before casting their ballots.

Seiter framed his remarks as a broader criticism of the Democratic Party, contending that its messaging often relies on language that means the opposite of what he believes it conveys.

"Well, it's very Orwellian, which the Democrats are expert at using this newspeak, where they always say a word means the opposite of what it actually does."

He said that, in his view, voters should draw conclusions from the language used by Democratic candidates.

"So you can actually infer and deduce from this that he is the opposite of practical."

Seiter continued by criticizing what he described as the ideological direction of the Democratic Party.

"And like most Democrats and leftists, he's a lunatic."

He then broadened his criticism to issues involving gender identity, saying:

"Look, these people think that men in dresses are women..."

Turning specifically to El-Sayed, Seiter expressed his opinion about Islam and argued that the candidate's faith should be a consideration for voters.

"And obviously El Sayed subscribes to a religion that has a problem with democracy, equality, consent, the West, dogs, women, bacon, and art."

Seiter argued that opposition to a Muslim candidate should not automatically be viewed as anti-Muslim prejudice.

"And so, disliking a Muslim candidate doesn't make you Islamophobic. It makes you a decent human being."

He said voters should evaluate both El-Sayed's religious beliefs and his personal views before making a decision at the ballot box.

"And so I think people should know where El Sayid stands, both in his religion and his personal life."

According to Seiter, he believes a candidate's religious convictions can influence political decision-making.

"And it's natural to infer that you know these are the things that instruct him, and it's his moral compass."

Seiter argued that voters should consider what they believe a candidate's values would mean in public office.

"So if you want to elect someone that you know believes it that democracy, equality, consent, bacon, and dogs are noxious, and that women shouldn't have equal rights. Then you should vote for the guy."

He contrasted that position with what he believes should motivate those who disagree.

"If you don't like those things, you should oppose him because he's not practical."

Seiter concluded his remarks with another criticism of El-Sayed and the political movement he believes the candidate represents.

"He's a lunatic that is in a leftist Islamic cult."
