Abdul El-Sayed Roasts Trump, Ted Cruz Over Metal Detector, ‘Jihadist Leprechaun’ Jabs

Abdul El-Sayed is speaking out about the Islamophobic remarks made by President Donald Trump and Ted Cruz against him before his big election victory … and he’s laughing it off.

Chatting with the ladies of “The View” on Thursday, El-Sayed was asked about Cruz’s comment … calling him a “Jihadist leprechaun.”

The senator-elect from Michigan jokingly responded … “I want a hat!”

And after Trump said he’d be the first senator to have to go through a metal detector, El-Sayed told the daytime co-hosts … “I’ll do a metal detector test all day because I have nothing to hide. Donald, if you’re watching, a lie detector is still on the table.”

During the interview … El-Sayed said that the GOP focusing on his faith showed they didn’t want to debate the issues, but rather debase the politics.

We reported earlier … El-Sayed previously clowned one of his most vocal critics — Vice President JD Vance.

In his victory speech, El-Sayed said … “JD, habibi, there is this delicious irony in the fact that you’re constitutionally obligated to swear me in in January.”
