密歇根州联邦众议院最高级别共和党议员直指阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德自称并非社会主义者的说法不实。
“如果它看起来像鸭子、走路像鸭子、叫起来也像鸭子，那它就是鸭子，”来自密歇根州的共和党联邦众议员、众议院共和党会议主席莉萨·麦克莱恩对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，“所以也许他不是社会主义者。也许他是个彻头彻尾的共产主义者。”
埃尔赛义德曾担任公职卫生官员，本月早些时候在密歇根州联邦参议院初选中爆冷胜出，成为民主党左翼阵营的候选人。他击败了民主党籍联邦众议员黑利·史蒂文斯，后者此前得到包括参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党众议员查克·舒默在内的民主党建制派大力支持。
这只是美国民主社会主义者组织（DSA）盟友候选人整体胜利浪潮的一部分。除密歇根州外，该组织已有多名候选人在纽约州和科罗拉多州的初选中击败了现任民主党联邦众议员。

尽管埃尔赛义德本人并非民主社会主义者组织成员，但与他一同参选造势的多位知名人士——包括佛蒙特州独立党参议员伯尼·桑德斯、纽约州民主党众议员亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科特兹以及密歇根州民主党众议员拉希达·特莱布——都自称是民主社会主义者。
埃尔赛义德上周在上传至YouTube的哥伦比亚广播公司采访中表示，他正在打造一个广泛联盟，其中既包括唐纳德·特朗普总统的支持者，也包括民主社会主义者组织成员，尽管他本人不属于任何一方。
“那些在选举还剩两周时赶来的人，真的很想给我贴上社会主义者的标签。我不知道为什么，也许只是为了方便编造一个更大范围的全国性叙事。但我是个科学家，对吧？我喜欢能解决问题的方案，”埃尔赛义德说，“我不搞意识形态。我更愿意把自己看作一个真正研究过资本主义的资本家，从这个意义上说，资本主义面临的最大风险向来是企业合并和垄断，而非政府监管。”
与此同时，麦克莱恩辩称埃尔赛义德的政策纲领本质上就是社会主义。
“他想要从你们口袋里掏钱。他想要免费的一切。好吧，说到底，如果所有东西都免费，总得有人买单，”麦克莱恩说，“农民就不用拿钱了吗？教师就不用拿钱了吗？他想要提高税收，想要从你们口袋里掏钱，好让你们替邻居买单。在我看来，这就是社会主义。这快赶上共产主义了。”

根据埃尔赛义德的竞选网站，他的政策纲领包括承诺为“全民医保”而斗争、对百万富翁和亿万富翁加税、通过“工资保险和基本收入”计划应对人工智能对各行业的自动化冲击，以及废除美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）。

共和党人士辩称，进步派和社会主义左翼支持的多数政策最终都会导致普通美国人税负加重。但民主党人士坚称，他们的计划将让工薪阶层和中产阶级生活更负担得起。
传统上，白宫所在政党会在中期选举中失去国会席位。再加上唐纳德·特朗普总统的支持率低迷，共和党要打破过往政治趋势、保住参众两院的控制权可谓困难重重。
但麦克莱恩指出，埃尔赛义德在密歇根州民主党参议院初选中并未获得绝对多数选票，并预测这将意味着密歇根州全州范围内的共和党候选人将凭借这位位居候选人名单首位的极左翼进步人士获益颇丰。

“我认为这会对我们大有帮助，对吧？因为看看埃尔赛义德的得票率，50%多一点——大多数选民并没有投给他。那这些选民会怎么做？”麦克莱恩反问道，“埃尔赛义德和他那群疯狂的进步主义者、社会主义者、共产主义者政党，怎么才能把这些民主党选民拉到民主党候选人这边？我认为他们做不到。我认为这些选民会寻找一位通情达理的候选人，我认为这些选民要么会待在家里不投票，要么会投票给迈克·罗杰斯。”

前联邦众议员、联邦调查局特工迈克·罗杰斯是密歇根州联邦参议院的共和党候选人。
他在竞选对阵格局确定后几天就向民主党选民发出呼吁，在一段视频中表示：“如果你是大多数民主党选民中的一员，在周三醒来后感到绝望，因为获胜的候选人并不代表你的价值观，那么请放心，仍有希望。”

El-Sayed may be ‘full-blown communist’ despite socialist denial: top Republican

House GOP Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain predicted Abdul El-Sayed’s candidacy will lower Democrats’ turnout

Michigan’s highest-ranking House Republican is crying foul on Abdul El-Sayed’s claim that he is not a socialist.
“If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck,” House GOP Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain, R-Mich., told Fox News Digital. “So maybe he’s not a socialist. Maybe he’s a full-blown communist.”
El-Sayed, a former public health official, scored an upset victory for Democrats’ leftmost flank in Michigan’s Senate primary earlier this month. He defeated Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., a House lawmaker who was heavily favored by the Democratic establishment, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
It was part of a larger wave of victories by candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), several of whom have toppled sitting House Democratic lawmakers in primaries in New York and Colorado in addition to Michigan.

And while El-Sayed himself is not a DSA member, some of the biggest names to campaign alongside him — including Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. — are self-proclaimed democratic socialists.
El-Sayed told CBS News in an interview posted to YouTube last week that he was working on building a broad coalition that included supporters of President Donald Trump as well as DSA members, even though he is neither.
“Folks who come here, like, with two weeks left in the election, really, really want to label me a socialist. I don’t know why, except for maybe it fits into a nice telling of a broader national story. But I’m a scientist, right? And I like solutions that solve problems,” El-Sayed said. “I don’t do ideology. I’d rather think of myself as a capitalist who actually read about capitalism, in the sense that the biggest risk to capitalism was always going to be corporate consolidation and monopoly, rather than government regulation.”
McClain, meanwhile, argued that El-Sayed’s platform is inherently socialist.
“He wants to take money out of your pockets. He wants free everything. Well, at the end of the day, if everything is free, someone has to pay for it,” McClain said. “Are the farmers not gonna get paid? Are the teachers not going to get paid? He wants higher taxes, and he wants to take money out of your pockets so you can pay for your neighbors. To me, that’s socialism. That’s borderline communism.”
MICHIGAN SENATE CANDIDATE ABDUL EL-SAYED DODGES QUESTION ON WHETHER HE STILL SUPPORTS DEFUNDING THE POLICE
El-Sayed’s policy platform includes promises to fight for Medicare for all, raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires, using “wage insurance and basic income” programs to counter artificial intelligence automating industries, and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to his website.

Republicans have argued that the majority of policies supported by the progressive and socialist left will amount to higher taxes for everyday Americans. But Democrats have insisted that their plans will lead to more affordable living for working- and middle-class people.
Traditionally, the party in power in the White House tends to lose seats in Congress during the midterms. That, combined with low approval numbers for President Donald Trump, means Republicans have an uphill battle to buck past political trends to keep control of the House and Senate.
But McClain pointed out that El-Sayed failed to clinch an outright majority in Michigan Democrats’ Senate primary and predicted it would mean Republicans running up and down the ballot in the Wolverine State will see big gains with the far-left progressive at the top of the ticket.

“I think it’s gonna help us tremendously, right? Because if you look at El-Sayed’s numbers, 50%, over 50% — the majority didn’t vote for him. So what are those voters gonna do?” McClain posed. “How is El-Sayed and his crazy progressive, socialist, communist party going to bring those Democratic voters over to the Democratic side of the ticket? I don’t think they are. I think those voters are going to look for a common-sense candidate, and I think those voters are either going to one, stay home or two, vote for Mike Rogers.”

Mike Rogers, a former House Republican and FBI agent, is the Republican nominee in Michigan.
He made an appeal to Democrats days after the matchup became official, stating in a video, “If you’re among the majority of Democratic voters that woke up on Wednesday feeling, well, hopeless, because the person who won does not represent your values, well, just know, there is still hope.”
