General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: MI-GOV: Abdul continues his daily scorched earth attacks against Whitmer. [View all]Ninsianna
(1,354 posts)conducting himself. Mere hours after his awful tweet, and his new one after he deleted the old one, the filings came to light.
Abdul is receiving BCBS money via his buddy Hammoud's PAC, which had the money from his buddy at Columbia and his sister in law.
A request for an investigation has been filed with the Secretary of State's office and Abdul has been backing away from his belligerent lies. I think that the weakness might be a bit in Crain's coverage.
My point about the issues with his voting history is that he has a history of lying, has a history of accusing Whitmer of false things he cannot back up and a history of being just incredibly sloppy about basic things.
I believe that a candidate who is getting national media should be evaluated fairly and he's been behaving in a manner that is upsetting Michiganders.
No one was asked for an endorsement, you simply got into a discussion and the issues were addressed, I'm not really interested in the opinions or endorsements of people with insufficient knowledge of the topic at hand, the personalities at play or the facts that are involved.
It would be nice if all the extraneous forces that have thrust themselves into this race would take a seat. That goes for Abdul's online army of foreign boosters, the guests from outside of the state that think any one cares about their opinions based on prior performance (with no attention paid to any factor actually involved in that performance), or the PR firm receiving dark money contributions who endorsed him, who provide non fact based Fox like propaganda for him or any other forces that are at play here.
The campaign finance issues raised by Abdul's dishonest tweets and his shenanigans need to be understood as part of the fuller picture, or not at all.
