On Breaking Points, the host plays a clip of RFK Jr. saying the world's 500 million Arabs don't produce science or literature or win top prizes, and says Bernie Moreno argued that El-Sayed shouldn't be allowed in the Senate because he isn't a Christian. El-Sayed says it's "rich" to watch a guy with "zero scientific credentials" lecture Michigan voters who, in his words, are on the cusp of electing an Arab American with two doctoral degrees. His advice: when they're telling on themselves, let them.

You had Bernie Marino yesterday basically saying, since you're not a Christian, you shouldn't be allowed in the Senate at all. And we had RFK Jr. making his own unique contribution to this incredibly bigoted, in my opinion, conversation. Let's go ahead and take a listen to what he had to say recently. There's 500 million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't ruin the field prize. They don't win the wolf prize. They don't produce literature. Your reaction to him and the other attacks that have come towards you and, you know, apparently to 500 million people around the world. You know, it's rich watching a guy with zero scientific credentials who's been appointed to one of the highest scientific rules in government, lecture Michigan voters who are on the cusp of electing an Arab American with two doctoral degrees who has published in the science literature. I just you know prefer when they're telling on themselves let them go ahead and tell on themselves.
