Abdul El-Sayed’s Ideology Is Fundamentally Incompatible with America’s Founding Principles — He Should Never Serve in the United States Senate

America was not founded as a social democracy, a globalist project, or a laboratory for progressive transformation.

Yet localized surges and cumulative effects remain acute in several countries.
