I mean, that I just got to say, with Cruz and Trump and Vance and others are saying is disgusting. It really is. And again, I don't care if you disagree with Abdul. He believes in Medicare for all. He believes in taxing billionaires. Fine. You disagree with him on that? That's fine. But that level of racism over absolute racism is frankly disgusting and should appall every decent American. The fact of the matter is that Abdul is running an extraordinary campaign. And I think what you're going to see is a good victory in Michigan for people will rebel against that type of ugliness.
