Abdul El-Sayed skipped the transitional period and went straight to the lie in his controversy this week when a video surfaced of his saying how he hates the iconic Mackinac Island. (Some sites are quoting El-Sayed as allegedly saying “I don’t think the most American place in Michigan is a place that…bans cars.”). So, El-Sayed simply told his supporters what they wanted to hear: you cannot believe your lying eyes and ears. He could have claimed that he was referring to hating Mackinac Island Pizza Company. With the election in November, the next predictable step will be for Hong to join El-Sayed on Mackinac Island for a public Thanksgiving dinner.
