When asked about his views and those of Jesus Christ’s, Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed said there's come common ground between them. (Credit: The Progressive Christians Podcast via YouTube - May 29) Michigan’s Democratic Senate nominee compared his "radical" policy positions to Jesus Christ’s teachings during a podcast appearance earlier this year. During an episode of the Progressive Christians Podcast that aired in May, Abdul El-Sayed was asked how his faith as a Muslim spurs his policies and positions in his campaign for the Senate. Rev. Blair Stowe, one of the podcast’s hosts, noted that through many progressive races during the midterm election cycle where policies like Medicare for all, being anti-war and resisting corporate money in politics, from the Christian lens, appeared to be "very similar to the teachings of Jesus."
