El-Sayed mocked for 'word salad' answer when pressed by conservative on voting for him: 'Worse than Kamala's'

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed sparked mockery online over his "word salad" response in which he referred to a pregnant woman as "an adult" or "juvenile human" after a pro-life student asked why he should vote for a progressive candidate like him.El-Sayed, a vocal supporter of codifying Roe v.Wade into law and funding Planned Parenthood, was speaking to students and prospective voters during a "Students vs.
