Oh, Look: Democrats Have Another Candidate With A ‘Nazi Problem’

What the Free Beacon identified is what the overlap actually reveals: both Bilzerian and El-Sayed share exactly one policy position — virulent opposition to Israel and AIPAC — and that single shared position is sufficient to attract the same donor pool. The extremes of the political spectrum, on this question, converge.

Bilzerian’s campaign video was not subtle. It featured Hitler footage, called his opponent a “Jewish supremacist,” showed horns growing from the Jewish candidate’s head, and asked whether voters should “revisit that Austrian painter’s opinions.” These donors saw that video. They funded that campaign anyway. And then they also funded El-Sayed.

El-Sayed has called Israel’s campaign in Gaza a genocide, compared the Israeli government to Hamas, dodged questions about whether Israel has a right to exist, and campaigned alongside Hasan Piker — who celebrated Hamas after October 7 and said America deserved September 11th. He has also received significant donations from individuals with documented ties to terror-linked organizations, as previously reported.

The common denominator isn’t policy sophistication. It’s Jew-hatred, and, by definition, hatred of the West in general. When someone gives thousands of dollars to a candidate who produced a Hitler-praising campaign video and thousands more to a candidate who says Israel shouldn’t exist, the ideology isn’t complicated. It’s one ideology wearing two different political masks.
