El-Sayed and Watters clash in Fox News interview over culture war, gas prices
El-Sayed said Republicans were distracting voters from health care costs and the economy as Watters pressed him on transgender issues, Sharia law and circumcision.
- During a Fox News interview, Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed asked host Jesse Watters if he is circumcised, sparking an unexpected exchange as El-Sayed campaigned against Republican nominee Mike Rogers.
- Things turned combative when Watters questioned El-Sayed on his support for gender-affirming surgery for minors under 18. El-Sayed argued the government should not dictate personal healthcare decisions.
- Watters retorted by asking, "So, you think it's OK for a parent to allow their child to slash their ding-a-ling off?" El-Sayed shot back, "Then you probably want to move on."
- Observers quickly shared reactions online, with Matt Rice, Washington correspondent for the New York Sun, calling the exchange "some of the cringiest" moments on cable news.
- The incident took place as El-Sayed campaigns against Rogers for the Michigan Senate seat. While Democratic candidates have won recent primaries, the general contest remains the primary challenge for the Republican Party.
