Bari Weiss’ opinion news site, The Free Press, has acknowledged an embarrassing error in its coverage of Abdul El-Sayed, the nation’s first Muslim senator-elect.
El-Sayed, who faced Islamophobic attacks throughout his campaign and opposition from pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC, defeated Republican Mike Rogers. In his victory speech Tuesday, El-Sayed pronounced his full name, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, and used three other Arabic expressions: “inshallah” (twice), “Alhamdulillah,” and “habibi.”
The site, which is marketed as “Honest,” “Independent,” and “Fearless,” inaccurately claimed in a Nov. 4 post on X that El-Sayed “gave his victory speech in Arabic last night.”
In the corresponding video, reporter and host Maya Sulkin made the same claim.
