Abdul El-Sayed Challenges Sky News Journalist Over Michigan Election Coverage

Are you registered to vote? Abdul. Are you registered to vote in the state of Michigan?

I, I, I- Are you registered to vote? I'm not. I'm registered to vote in the UK.

So why would I care to have a conversation with you?

Abdul. Just explain to me, why would I care to have a conversation with you?

I'm a journalist. I'm a journalist. You're, you're a journalist in, in the UK.

You know how many votes I want to get in the UK?

This, this, this election- Zero. This- I am never running for office in the UK ... but this election matters- So I actually do not care- This election matters to the world ... what you think or the questions you ask- You're, you're, you're- ... because you literally- ... you're bidding to be a senator in-

You're, you're, you're a li- a senator in where? What country?

What country? Uh, in, in the United States.

Yes, and what, what country are you in? The leader, the leader, the leader of the free world.

What country are you in? What country are you in?

I, I, I'm based in the United States. Yes.

And I report- No, no, no, no, no ... I report- But, but, but you report for where? Where are your viewers?

Abdul, I, uh- Where are your viewers? They're international.

Do you not... No, no, no. They are international.

Where are your viewers? Sky News is not, is not viewed in the United States of America.

They are inter- yeah. It is. It's only viewed in the UK.

It is. Like five people watch it in America.

We have an international audience. So I'm just gonna tell you, I'm gonna tell you.

Abdul- Listen, listen ... is your election not relevant- I've answered all the questions ... is it not relevant to the UK?

I've answered all the questions that I care to answer- Is your election not relevant to the rest of the world?

... for viewers in the United Kingdom. Is it not relevant to the rest of the world, Abdul?

So I'm gonna ask you to stop chasing me around, please. Thank you.

Abdul, I'm not chasing you around. Thank you.

I'm asking you questions. All right. It's been a stressful political contest here in Michigan.

Abdul El-Sayed, if he gets to Capitol Hill, he wants to serve on the Foreign Affairs Committee.

His responsibilities as a senator will extend far beyond the borders of the United States. There are consequences for the rest of the world in terms of what happens here, who gets elected, and who has power.

It won't be the last time that Abdul El-Sayed, should he be elected, is asked questions by international media
