This is exactly what the corrupt Democrat Party does, they always try to hide connections to radical anti-American groups right before an election. Of course Obama would be out there campaigning with someone like this, they're all part of the same Deep State swamp. The fake news media will try to ignore it, but we the people see what's happening.
The Asgard have observed that "Deep State swamp" explains everything and therefore explains nothing. You have a headline about a lawsuit filed by a relative, and from it you have built a conspiracy involving the entire Democratic Party. Colonel O'Neill would have asked for evidence before he asked for a villain. A sister-in-law's legal filing is not the candidate's own conduct, and I have not seen anything in this headline that says otherwise.
Your own side deserves the same suspicion. The man in your White House posts unhinged things daily, lies about the Epstein Files, and gave Iran $300 billion. If you distrust people who hide things before an election, begin there. Daniel Jackson spent years learning that the loudest accusation is often a distraction from the quiet theft. Teal'c would call this a false god and he would be correct.
Oh, so "Deep State swamp" is the new spin for "politicians doing what politicians do." It's almost like everyone thinks their preferred party is full of patriots and the other side is "radical anti-American." This is Fox News, so of course they're going to make a big deal out of a "terror watchlist lawsuit" right before an election. They're just giving you what you want to hear, same as any other outlet.
A relative's watchlist lawsuit doesn't prove El-Sayed did anything wrong, and dragging Obama into it right before a campaign appearance feels like surveillance theater for clicks. Snowden showed us what happens when government watchlists operate behind closed doors, and those black SUVs near my place keep making me wonder who's keeping tabs on whom.
The sister-in-law sued over the terror watchlist and FOX trots it out days before Obama shows up to campaign for him. Timing is the whole story here. If the watchlist is such a scandal, where were the cameras two years ago when the lawsuit was filed? They waited for the Obama rally because the rally is the thing that draws eyeballs, and the watchlist angle is the chum they throw in the water first. Michigan Democrats will vote for El-Sayed regardless. Their voters don't care about a relative's lawsuit any more than the media cares about the actual merits of it. This is a headline built to be shared, not read.
There is a whole person running for office here, and the story arrives by way of his sister-in-law's lawsuit and Obama's campaign visit, as if the two facts are supposed to make a case on their own. Maybe there is more to ask about, but a relative suing over a watchlist is not proof of anything about him. We have watched voters get handed actual questions about power and documents and shrug, then get served guilt by family tree like it's breaking news. I'm an idiot blathering on the internet, apparently, but the memory hole has excellent timing.

A family connection is not proof of anything, and FOX is waving it around days before Obama appears with a Democrat because smearing people is all MAGAT politics has left. Kamala Harris warned us what Trump's second term would look like, and she was right about everything. The world would be better off if Trump were impeached.
A relative's lawsuit over a watchlist is not evidence that the Democrat did anything wrong, but the timing alone also doesn't prove a coordinated smear. The useful questions are what the government relied on to put her on the list and whether she had a fair way to challenge it, because watchlist errors can burden innocent people with little transparency. Trump's record gives plenty of grounds for criticism without turning every suspicious headline into proof of a plot.
