El-Sayed’s ‘ding-a-ling’ defense of child sex changes becomes instant attack magnet: ‘Not the same, Abdul!’

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is catching flak from across the political spectrum for comparing circumcision to child sex changes during a Monday night appearance on Jesse Watters Primetime.

"So you think it’s okay for a parent to slash his kid’s ding-a-ling off?" Watters asked El-Sayed.

"Are you circumcised?" El-Sayed asked Watters.

ABDUL EL-SAYED GRILLED ON PAST STATEMENTS ON SHARIA LAW AND WHITE SUPREMACY, TAXING THE RICH "Circumcision’s different than castration," Watters responded.

"It’s a problem that you think you get to decide what happens between a parent, a doctor and a patient," El-Sayed went on.

"I’m just saying that, yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid’s ding-a-ling." Even some on the left didn’t buy into El-Sayed’s attempt to compare sex changes with circumcision.

"This talking point isn’t it," Ryan Grim , a co-founder of the left-wing outlet DropSite News , wrote in response to a clip of the exchange.

"He might be worse than Kamala Harris," conservative pundit Benny Johnson posted .

"Holy crap, Abdul El-Sayed said circumcision is similar to sex change operations on minors," OutKick founder Clay Travis wrote .

Others took opportunities to poke fun at El-Sayed for asking a news host about his penis during a nationally televised interview by making puns.

"Interested to see El-Sayed's pole numbers after this," Washington Free Beacon reporter Chuck Ross quipped.
