Things went off the rails when Watters asked the progressive if he supports gender-affirming surgery for those under 18 years old.
“Sex change for minors. Do you support that?” Watters asked El-Sayed, to which the former public health official said, “I just think the government shouldn’t tell you what kind of healthcare you should have.”
“So you think it’s okay for a parent to slash his kid’s ding-a-ling off?” Watters asked.
El-Sayed retorted: “Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised?”
The shocked Fox News host said, “Yeah, but I mean that’s a personal question, doctor.”
Watters then said circumcision is “different than castration,” but El-Sayed argued, “I’m just saying that yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid’s ding-a-ling.”
Watters called El-Sayed’s comment “wacky,” adding, “Abdul, Michigan’s not going for that. That is sick stuff.”
Holy shit what an inane hypocrite. I swear conservatives are going to give me an aneurysm

“No, we only cut the foreskin off, not the whole penis! We aren’t crazy.”
Sweet Satan, if only he could hear himself.

If he had any foreskin it was burnt! ( I too lament a lack of foreskin, so whatever)
zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I find it darkly humorous that ribbed condoms are meant to simulate a foreskin. Yes, our culture removes the foreskin, but they’ll sell you a fake one to replace it!

Or maybe it was eaten by Jeffrey Epstein, who could afford a personal chef good enough to never burn a foreskin

Transcript from the article:
“Sex change for minors. Do you support that?” Watters asked El-Sayed, to which the former public health official said, “I just think the government shouldn’t tell you what kind of healthcare you should have.”
“So you think it’s okay for a parent to slash his kid’s ding-a-ling off?” Watters asked.
Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, has raised eyebrows after asking Fox News’ Jesse Watters if he is circumcised during a combative prime-time interview (Jesse Watters Primetime)
El-Sayed retorted: “Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised?”
The shocked Fox News host said, “Yeah, but I mean that’s a personal question, doctor.”
Watters then said circumcision is “different than castration,” but El-Sayed argued, “I’m just saying that yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid’s ding-a-ling.”

I think something is lost in converting it to text. Something of the essence of the moment really… You have to see it and hear it.

Not being an American, I tend to have very little experience of Fox News, and that’s how I like it.
But how do they keep replacing one shithouse with another?
Bill O’Reilly gave way to Glen Beck gave way to Fucker Carlson gave to whoever this barely-sentient pile of dog shit is. Is there a training school for ridiculous, puffed up white boys who make that stupid “I’m just asking questions” face that I’d never tire of hitting with a bat?

I looked at that link a couple of times before giving up on trying to find the video. What a trash source.

Man fuck right off, that wasn’t at all a weird question to ask in response to a fucking weird obsession Jesse has with children’s “dingilings”
eurodyne@piefed.world 2 weeks ago
Jesse Watters is the one who brought it up, after all.
El-Sayed (a medical doctor, by the way) only responded in kind, and Watters - having brought it up as some kind of battle mark, some line that should never be crossed - immediately reversed course at brakeneck speed and attempted to dismiss it as if it were nothing, framing El-Sayed as an absurdist for even mentioning the subject that Watters himself raised in feigned outrage, despite El-Sayed’s repeated warnings that Watters would regret addressing the subject

If you ever believed that the manipulation stream media was on the right side of history. Then this whole interview plus the one Welker did with Angie Nixon should tell you that they never were.
These companies act like assholes to Progressives and DSA while throwing cotton candy at Pedophiles and Rapists.

On the surface the article comes off as rather neutral in tone but the headline, the line about “raising eyebrows”, and really just the existence of this article at all is so standard for “left” leaning news corporations. Mamdani’s response didn’t “raise eyebrows” from anyone except the fox viewers who would have already been fired up before the camera even started rolling and all this article is doing is validating them.
It’s always the same thing, politicians on the right are allowed to say or do anything they want freely without any scrutiny and those who are left of centre are held under a microscope.
As a (Godwin’s Law proving) example: imagine if what Mamdani had said was “I actually think Hitler was a bad person” and then we got articles about that statement raising eyebrows. It wouldn’t be false but the only people it’d be referring to would be Nazis and why the fuck would you validate or acknowledge their opinions?

That was El-Sayed, not Mamdani. Mamdani is the mayor of New York.
