Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed published an essay blaming the murder of an Iraqi refugee on anti-Muslim bigotry, even after police warned the case wasn't a hate crime, and her husband was later convicted of killing her.

A handwritten note left at the scene read, "Go back to your country, you terrorist." Within days, activists and commentators seized on the killing as proof of rising anti-Muslim hatred in America. El-Sayed was among the loudest voices. On March 28, 2012, one week after Alawadi's death, El-Sayed published an essay in Mic, a liberal digital outlet, tying her…Open

A resurfaced clip from a 2019 Texas Legislature hearing shows Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico declaring that parents who refuse to affirm a child's gender identity are engaged in "abusive" behavior, a position now colliding with his campaign's moderate rebrand. Talarico, a former state representative now locked in a competitive race for a Texas Senate seat against Republican Ken Paxton, made the remarks during a committee hearing on HB 1910, a bill designed to prevent family courts from treating a parent's refusal to affirm a child's gender identity as evidence of child abuse in custody disputes. Fox News Digital reported on the video and obtained responses from both the Republican National Committee and the Talarico…Open
