Abdul El-Sayed's Campaign Video Causes Online Backlash
The internet is strongly criticizing Abdul El-Sayed after a strange campaign video appeared, showing him dancing and singing like he's on the kids' show 'Blue's Clues'.
The video starts with El-Sayed acting like the host of 'Blue's Clues' in the 'Mail Time' part. He dances and sings a song, wearing a green shirt like the host.
El-Sayed says, 'Here's the mail. It never fails. It makes me want to wag my tail. When it comes, I want to wail, ‘Mail!’'
Abdul El-Sayed spent time with a streamer named Hasan Piker the day before a big election in Michigan.
Abdul El-Sayed is dancing in a video that looks like 'Blue's Clues', and people online are reacting negatively.
Then, El-Sayed takes out a ballot from the mailbox that says 'Abdul for Senate' and explains how to turn it in.
El-Sayed says, 'It looks like my ballot. And with it, I can participate in democracy.'
He tells viewers when the ballot must be turned in, speaking like the 'Blue's Clues' host talks to kids.
El-Sayed says, 'Vote ski-doo. We can too!' as he disappears into a picture frame.
This part of the video is like a part from 'Blue's Clues' where the host becomes part of the cartoon background.
Senator Ted Cruz from Texas posted 'Um, wut?' about the video on social media.
The video became popular on social media, and some people thought it was a fun way to campaign. But others criticized El-Sayed for being awkward and talking to voters like they're kids.
El-Sayed's campaign did not comment on the video when asked by Fox News.
Abdul El-Sayed challenged his Republican opponent to a football game without pads.
Abdul El-Sayed made a video at a pool party for people supporting his campaign in Detroit.
One user said, 'This is disgusting and patronizing. Treating voters like kids is a joke. Stop using our childhood memories for your campaign.'
Another user said, 'This could be the worst thing I've ever seen.'
Someone else wrote, 'This is the most awkward political ad I've seen. I wouldn't make this video even if you threatened me.'
A user commented, 'This video is suitable if you think voters are as smart as 4-year-olds. It's easier to trick them into socialism at that age.'
Another user said, 'No one should be allowed to vote for this. It cannot be encouraged.'
Haley Stevens criticized Hasan Piker but supported Abdul El-Sayed after losing the primary election.
The video was made early in El-Sayed's campaign.
