Fox News host Jesse Watters brought progressive Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on air to paint him as a scary radical… and instead ended up admitting on national television that he actually likes the guy.
Mason of @onehandpolitics is breaking down the now-viral Fox News interview where Watters ran through every right-wing buzzword in the book, from Sharia law to abolishing ICE. He even demanded to know if El-Sayed supports "sex changes for minors." Instead of taking the bait, El-Sayed calmly flipped it back, arguing that healthcare decisions belong to patients, doctors and parents, not the government, and then asked Watters a question that left him scrambling to change the subject.
Mason breaks down why that exchange worked so well and how the entire segment was engineered, from the fear-mongering chyrons to the loaded language, to make sure Fox viewers never actually heard what El-Sayed believes. Mason also digs into the data Watters doesn't want his audience to see. A peer-reviewed 2024 JAMA study of nearly 23 million minors found zero gender-affirming surgeries on kids 12 and under. Among older teens the procedures were rare and almost entirely chest-related. The "parent mutilating a child's genitals" scenario Watters wants viewers terrified of simply doesn't exist. And in a moment that says it all, Watters admitted in his own post-interview segment that he liked El-Sayed "for some stupid reason," proving exactly why the right works so hard to keep progressives off their platforms in the first place.
