Democratic double standards: Foxnews anchor contrasted the Democratic party's tolerance of El-Sayed's criticism of Obama with its hostility toward Stevens for expressing her own political views. He argues that Democrats claim to welcome ideological diversity but punish moderates who challenge the party's progressive wing.<ref>[https://youtu.be/boytwDINA9k Jesse Watters: Barack Obama looks like a FOOL].

Hailey endorsement gives permission for other Democrats to vote Republican. Local Michigan Democrats have already started.
-- Some Detroiters have said,
-- [Lady]: "Listen, if Kamala Harris walked down the street holding his hand, I still would not vote for him. Now, will she and President Obama be able to, you know, sway a few? Sure."
-- But not you? [Laughter]
-- [Lady]: "I can think for myself."
-- Jesse: What goes around comes around. It's not like Abdul hasn't gone against the grain. A couple of years ago, he called Obama a warmonger with a -- but Hailey can't speak her mind? Whatever happened to the Big Tent? The tent is big enough for Abdul but not Stevens? We told you once you let them in, it would be a purge. A moderate white-fee people congressman from a Rust Belt swing state just lowered the tent to make room for a Muslim socialist who backs reparations and hates fireworks on the Fourth of July. And Chuck Schumer, the so-called Palestinian, sided with the radical Muslim. It's because Democrats see the real threat as MAGA.
-- [CNN's Anderson Cooper]: "Why is it okay now, why can you afford now to give MAGA another Senate seat in November?"
-- [Stevens]: "Why is it okay to have the Democratic Party and a top nominee injecting this type of anger and lack of kindness?"
-- Jesse: Abdul has been courting voters at mosques where speakers have called America the House of Satan. His family is tied in with the Muslim Brotherhood, and he's playing footsie with a gay ayatollah. Who really betrayed who here?
-- My name is -- [Applause]
-- [Abdul to Muslim gathering]: "My name... -- that name is just as American as Mike or Donald or whatever JD stands for."
-- Jesse: It's not about his name. It's about what he stands for. And it's why Pelosi didn't want anything to do with him.
Note: I've preserved the wording as it appears in the photographs, including apparent transcription or printing errors. A few unclear phrases, particularly "That doesn't believe," "white-fee people," and "called Obama a warmonger with a --", may need checking against the original broadcast.
-- [Donny Deutsch to Nancy Pelosi]: "When you say Israel doesn't have the right to be a Jewish state, that's anti-Semitic as far as I'm concerned."
-- [Pelosi]: "Who says that?"
-- [Deutsch]: "Mamdani has said that, El-Sayed has said that. That doesn't believe they should be a Jewish state. That's concerning."
-- [Pelosi]: "No, it's more than concerning, it's wrong. It's wrong, and it is a reflection of the Democrats and the Congress of the United States. This new person, Michigan, we'll see if he gets elected to the Congress."
-- Jesse: Nancy is savvy enough to know that Abdul is nothing but trouble, but after that, they forced her to endorse him. She hadn't so far. Turns out, and I do have to say it, Nancy was right. And now she's like, "See, told you so." You know who really looks like a fool? Barack Obama. Put his legacy on the line for this guy. Now the rest of the party is running away like they smell a skunk. Democrats won't say it on TV, but behind the scenes, they are secretly hoping Abdul goes down.
-- [Stevens to Scott Jennings]: "At the end of the day, I made a decision, and, you know what? I'm hearing from a ton of people, and maybe they don't want to come forward, but I'm hearing from a ton of people, all over, who are agreeing. And are thanking me for just saying what I feel."
-- Jesse: The dam is breaking. Fetterman called him the Midwest Mamdani. Now Manchin is backing Rogers.
-- [Manchin]: "I know Mike. I've worked with Mike before. He's intelligent, he's smart, and he's a good person. That's all I have said. Okay, I don't go out and talk about other people or the opposition. I don't know those people. They are saying all these things. I just know Mike is solid."
-- Jesse: The future of the Democratic Party riding on this election. Michigan is an early 2028 primary state. If Democrats don't keep this Senate seat, their chances of taking the Senate are pretty slim. Abdul never pivoted to the center after the primary, and don't expect AOC to do so in 2028 if Abdul wins. If he pulls it off, first of all, he's going to be insufferable. Second of all, Democrats nationwide are going to be running brasher, unapologetic socialists, and the Schumers and Hakeems won't be able to stop him. This cocky and combative strain of left-wing populism runs directly through Abdul, and if he loses, that loses, and the fortunes of Bernie and Warren and the Squad are in dire straits. But no one has any idea how this Stevens-Abdul beef will play. Remember, Trump absorbed several high-profile DEI attacks in 2016 and survived. It may have made him stronger...</small></small></blockquote></ref>

{{Cquote|“My decision to withdraw my endorsement of Abdul El-Sayed and support Mike Rogers has angered many Democrats. I understand why. But it was not impulsive, and it was not made for me by anyone else. It was a decision of conscience,” the congresswoman wrote in a lengthy X post.
“Some critics have also dragged my fiancé into this, suggesting he or others must have made my decision for me,” Stevens continued. “Think about what that says. A woman can serve in Congress, run statewide, and fight for her convictions, and still be told that when she makes a choice people dislike, someone else must be pulling the strings.
“That is sexism dressed up as political analysis.”
Jason Turkish, a Jewish Democrat, disability rights advocate and Stevens’ fiancé, threw his support behind Rogers last week – arguing that El-Sayed’s rhetoric is putting Jews in danger.
At the time, Stevens was still backing El-Sayed and had sought to appear alongside the Democratic Senate hopeful at a campaign event.
However, Stevens claims she was told she was “no longer welcome” on the campaign trail with El-Sayed after she asked the candidate to disavow an antisemitic campaign ad and rhetoric from lefty streamer Hasan Piker and Tucker Carlson.
“My fiancé has his own views. I have mine. I made this decision, and I am proud of it,” she wrote. “Do not question my independence simply because you disagree with my conclusion.”
Stevens explained that once she concluded El-Sayed was “not fit to serve,” she decided to back Rogers “with the hope that he can serve in the tradition of John McCain: a senator willing to put country before party and stand up to his own side when conscience requires it.”
“Instead of asking why a lifelong Democrat reached this point, some leaders rushed to condemn me, question my motives, and push me out,” she wrote. “That response reveals something deeply troubling about what is missing in today’s Democratic Party.
“We cannot preach inclusion while punishing dissent. We cannot promise to heal a divided country if we cannot tolerate disagreement among ourselves. And we cannot build a lasting majority by making Americans feel their concerns are unwelcome.”
Stevens signaled that she intends to remain a Democrat and “help lead” an effort to build “a stronger, more welcoming, more courageous Democratic Party.”}}
