“El-Sayed Should Fly to NYC and Look EVERY Family Member of Someone Who Jumped Out of a Window in the Eye!” * The Gateway Pundit * by Jim Hᴏft

Former Jill Biden press secretary Michael LaRosa has gone nuclear on Michigan’s radical Democrat Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed.

LaRosa, who also served as a special assistant to Joe Biden, delivered the stunning rebuke during a panel discussion on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle.

The personal, blistering attack centers on El-Sayed’s refusal to fully disavow far-left streamer Hasan Piker, who infamously declared that “America deserved 9/11.” El-Sayed has campaigned alongside Piker and dismissed the comments as some “dumb thing” said out of context, while wearing a grin that LaRosa finds utterly disgusting.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, LaRosa said he could never support a candidate he viewed as too weak to confront Piker’s rhetoric. He called Rogers a “reasonable Republican” and argued that the former House Intelligence Committee chairman would be the better choice for Michigan.

LaRosa didn’t hold back.

LaRosa:
“Some things transcend party loyalty, and I’m just surprised that there’s not more people who won’t stand up to this guy or this kind of candidate.

You know, I really—you know, I was 78 miles in high school, in class, 25 years ago on September 11th. And I signed a petition for Change.org saying Mondani should stay out of New York City on 9/11.

I think this guy—I think El-Sayed should fly to New York City and look every family member of somebody who jumped out of a window because the alternative was worse. I think he should look them in the eye and tell them that there’s no justification for what happened, for showing up at their office or boarding an airplane that day. They didn’t do anything wrong.

I think he should do that. I think he should take this seriously. And I’d like him to wipe the grin off his face when he’s talking about it, too… When he was talking to Kristen Welker and he, you know, sort of casually dismissed the question as if it was something illegitimate, as if he’s not seeking the support of extremists who say and celebrate terrorism in Manhattan.”

WATCH:

WOW! Michael Larosa goes OFF on Abdul.

Larosa was the press secretary for Jill Biden.

The criticism is deeply personal for LaRosa. The mother of his best friend died on September 11 after jumping from the 95th floor of the World Trade Center rather than burn alive. Her only “crime,” LaRosa has repeatedly emphasized, was showing up to work that morning.

He wrote on X:

“I won’t defend or support anyone who is too cowardly to stand up to extremists who think the mother of my best friend, who jumped from 95 stories because the alternative was worse, deserved what happened to her. Her only crime was showing up to work that morning. The Democrat running for the U.S. Senate in Michigan won’t or can’t stand up to the guy who says she “deserved” what she got that morning she showed up for work.”

I refused to defend or support anyone with an SS Totenkampf tattoo, simply because they had a “D” next to their name.
