A Sky News reporter had a heated exchange with newly-elected Senator Abdul El-Sayed on the eve of his victory in the midterms.

If you scroll down, way down, in the article, you see the provocative things the reporter threw at El-Sayed, before El-Sayed responded.
Introducing himself, Matthews quickly lobs some questions at the politician, saying: “Donald Trump seems to think you’re a gift for the Republican Party, what do you say to that?” After initially declining to answer El-Sayed responded: “I’m a gift to the state of Michigan, God willing, and I hope to win the election.”
Matthews then asked: “And he says, if you’ll pardon the language, you’re full of shit. What do you say to that?” to which El-Sayed said: “At least I don’t let mine go in the middle of the Oval Office.”variety.com - Abdul el sayed sky news james matthews heated exchangeEl-Sayed, by openly breaking with "Israel first", painted a big target on his back. I expect he is going to be baited and lied about, for his entire term. He better grow a really thick skin, fast.
