Progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed has confusing defense of voting record

Abdul El-Sayed’s did not have a good week. And it’s not looking like it’s going to get better any time soon. El-Sayed has captured the imagination of progressives who think he can bring a liberal agenda to Lansing and become the nation’s first Muslim-American governor. This past weekend, at a Democratic forum for Michigan’s gubernatorial candidates in Washtenaw County, there was a throng of excited folks all waiting to talk to him.
