If you believe in healthcare for all, good jobs, and hope and change—all the things Democrats supposedly believe in—well, El-Sayed was your only choice. Referring to “those at the top” opposing the would-be senator (a strange way of putting things for a former president with a 29-acre waterfront estate on Martha’s Vineyard), Obama said: “They will use division, and they may even use your name or your faith to somehow suggest that you are dangerous and less than trustworthy and less patriotic and less American than they are.” | 0.50 | |
