@motownrabbi.bsky.socialThis is exactly what I was thinking as he was speaking. The whole thing. Sure, it's good to 'disavow the actions' of this group or that group, but when you're only asking (((certain people))) if they do... Well, that's just gutter bigotry showing.
Show PostStraight from the עפרא לפומהון
Show PostQ: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t? Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet. El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.
Show PostTurning a bigoted question from a troll into an opportunity to give a lecture about the importance of the Constitution & freedom of religion & the separation of church and state in a way that comes off straightforward, obvious & practical common sense. El-Sayed’s political talent remains underrated.
Show PostOne of the many things I love about El-Sayed is that he's willing to engage with someone hostile if it gets them to admit the premises behind that hostility, to the extent that it becomes impossible to avoid the underlying bigotry. You want to go there, fine, but he's gonna make you own it.
