There’s a pattern here. Yes it's the leftists are liars and frauds!

‘Doctor’ Abdul El-Sayed Running on ‘Socialized Medicine’ Has No Medical License

“I’ve been a doctor my whole career.”

There’s a pattern here.

In Maine, Socialist Senate candidate Graham Platner, who claims to be a working class oysterman, is a rich kid who isn’t an oysterman, and in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, whose whole pitch for office is claiming to be a doctor and running on implementing socialized medicine… has no medical license and barely ever practiced.

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for years has publicly said he’s a physician — but there’s overwhelming evidence that he’s had no experience as a licensed medical doctor.

This April, he gave an interview to a local TV journalist where he talked up his credentials as a physician multiple times. In March, he told a group of Teamsters nurses that he had “been in enough codes to watch who really does the work” and said that same month on a podcast that “I’ve been a doctor my whole career.”

His LinkedIn profile currently says he’s a “physician,” and late last month he called himself “a physician and epidemiologist” at a Council of Baptist Pastors debate in Detroit.

But according to a review of Michigan and New York state medical records, he’s never been granted a medical license in those states. El-Sayed’s hands-on experience treating patients appears to be a short clinical rotation called a sub-internship at a small hospital in Manhattan for four weeks at the end of medical school, he told a podcast in 2022, where he said his “job was to be the, like, worst doctor on the team” and he was “cosplaying a doctor.”

Politicians routinely inflate their resumes when running for office, but Abdul El-Sayed has only two things he’s running on…

1. Opposing America and Israel while claiming that they’re persecuting Muslims

2. Being a ‘doctor’ who understands how medicine needs to be fixed through socialized medicine.

And in turns out that El-Sayed is as much of a doctor as Marx was an economist or Mohammed was literate enough to read any book, let alone the Koran.

Still the lie is so out there that Google Search classifies him as a ‘doctor’.

Abdul El-Sayed worked in the area of ‘public health’ rather than actually treating patients and his campaign has taken to climbing that he’s even more of a doctor because of that. Just not the kind who actually treats patients or does anything useful.

The state of Michigan prohibits anyone who is not licensed “to induce the belief” that they have a license or are registered to practice medicine.

Don’t expect any consequences though.

If you do a TV ad claiming to be a physician while selling vitamins, you could be in big trouble, but if you do a TV ad claiming to be a physician while selling socialized medicine and the destruction of America, it’s all good.
