Rothmus 🏴(@Rothmus):Remember when Mamdani said in that resurfaced 2020 interview that identity is central for “minority” communities, while white communities care more about ideology, so the messaging has to be adjusted to reach them? This is what Abdul is doing. Neither he nor his community actually believe any of that woke progressive bs. But if it’s anti-America, they’re for it. And if it gets him power, even better. He knows men don’t get pregnant and the irony of him of all people calling Texans the Taliban didn’t fly over his head. He’s just using the woke language to mark the enemy.

🚨 ABDUL THINKS MEN CAN GET PREGNANT AND CALLS TEXAS REPUBLICANS THE TALIBAN. Abdul El-Sayed. Sept. 2, 2021. The morning after the Court backed Texas. He wrote that Abbott, the Legislature, and the Supreme Court were “like the Taliban in Afghanistan.” Said Texas Christianity is a “serious threat.” Called women “people who can get pregnant.” That’s the record. Not a rumor. His byline. Greg Abbott is not the Taliban. Texas is not Kabul. If that’s how he talks about this state, he doesn’t get to represent Americans. 🇺🇸
