Abdul El-Sayed asks Fox News’ Jesse Watters ‘Are you circumcised?’ in bizarre moment as he defends sex change surgery for minors

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed got extremely personal with Fox News host Jesse Watters on Monday — asking if he is circumcised — during a bizarre defense of sex change surgery for minors.

“Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised?” El-Sayed bluntly asked the “Jesse Watters Primetime” host, after arguing that the government shouldn’t get involved in transgender medical procedures for children.

Watters was floored by the question.

“Jesse, are you?” El-Sayed pressed.

“Yeah, yeah, but I mean, that’s a personal question — doctor,” Watters responded.

El-Sayed, seemingly convinced that he ended the debate with Watters, suggested: “You probably should want to move on.”

“Circumcision is different than castration!” Watters fired back.

Undeterred, El-Sayed argued that it’s a “problem” that Watters believes the government should step in to outlaw sex change surgeries for minors but not circumcisions.

“I’m just saying that yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid’s ding-a-ling,” the former public health official told Watters. “So if you really want to bring that up, you can … I just think you guys are really selective about these things.”

Watters described El-Sayed’s position as “wacky” and “sick.”

“Abdul, Michigan’s not going for that. That is sick stuff,” he said.
