Abdul El-Sayed stands by criticism of fireworks, tells Americans to find other ways to ‘show you love’
Democratic Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed defended his past controversial comments about Fourth of July fireworks during a radio appearance Monday.
While appearing on “The Breakfast Club,” El-Sayed was asked by host Charlamagne tha God about his previous support for defunding the police and criticism of firework celebrations on Independence Day. El-Sayed pushed back against the criticism.
“They’re coming at me on fireworks,” El-Sayed said. “I’m like, ‘All right, first, if your whole conception of America is that it’s fireworks, I’m so sorry. You don’t have a complete conception of America. But even then, right, like what is it?'”

CNN reported that Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate Abdul El-Sayed deleted approximately 100 YouTube videos before launching his campaign.
He continued: “I said, ‘Well, every time we do a fireworks show, it destroys the air quality and people have asthma exacerbations and heart attacks the next day.’ That’s all I was saying. You know what I mean? I’m not saying we shouldn’t have fireworks. I’m just saying maybe like there are other ways to show your love.”
El-Sayed’s comments follow a CNN report earlier this month that revealed that El-Sayed deleted or hid approximately 100 YouTube videos before launching his Senate campaign. Among them included a plea that Americans “please” find another way to celebrate the Fourth of July besides using fireworks, citing air quality and the risks to children and pets as reasons.
