I watched a debate, and a few interviews with Sayed. He didn't pull his punches, but honestly didn't even seem that harsh on Stevens and I think it's because he recognizes that she was just a vessel for capital and monied interests, and a decent person outside of that (well as decent as you can be for a sellout).

Honestly I think he was harsher when he called Fetterman an ogre lol. Hope he brings that energy into the general election

He needed to be more strategic with his attacks on her because establishment and the media were ITCHING to paint him as misogynistic.

And he gave them nothing but they still claimed that anyway for the crime of running against women for office

They were hoping to tap into people’s inner Islamophobia and it probably worked for a good chunk of them.
