Ep. 2425 - Let Trump COOK
"He calls himself a physician and yet he has never been granted a medical license. He has a doctorate in public health from Oxford University. He worked as an assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia, but he never practiced medicine. The real drawback on him is that he is pretty in love with radical Islamic terrorism and campaigns with people who also are pretty in love with radical Islamic terrorism."
Ben Shapiro reported that Abdulrahman Muhammad El-Sayed, endorsed by Bernie Sanders, has surged to a 9-point lead in Michigan's Democratic gubernatorial primary despite never holding a medical license while calling himself a doctor. According to Shapiro, El-Sayed was caught on tape refusing to condemn supporters of Ayatollah Khomeini and has expressed support for terrorist groups, which Shapiro claims is now a feature of the Democratic Party.
