People eat it up. It's tragic but it's so true.

I'm six feet tall my friend!

He never claimed he was named after Paula Abdul. He said in 1989, when he was going to Kindergarten, his stepmother suggested he start just going by Abdul, like Paula Abdul, instead of Abdulrahman. I don’t like the guy, but at least try to tell the truth.

That's not what he claimed. He was looking for an easier name to go by at school. Abdulalrahman was out of the question. Along with his parents he settled on Abdul because it was easier to say and less intimidating because of Paula Abdul's popularity.

You're confusing two different things. His birth name is Abdulrahman, which means "servant of the Most Merciful" in Arabic. His parents shortened it to Abdul when he started school because Paula Abdul had made the name familiar to Americans. And guess what? The shortened name Abdul still means "servant" in Arabic. You, and many like you, just not smart enough, or too lazy, to understand that both stories are true, and in no way contradictory.

His birth name is Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. In 1989, when he was about to enter kindergarten, his parents decided to shorten his first name because teachers struggled to pronounce it. Paula Abdul and Kareem. Helped make the shortened name “Abdul” familiar to Americans.

That's not what he said. He said his parents were worried the name he was given at birth (in 1984) "wouldn't fly", presumably with the other kids, I'm guessing, until Paula Abdul hit the big time in 1989. Why make stuff up?

Are you still doing this? The video you yourself posted says nothing about being named after Paula abdul. He says his stepmother said he wouldn't last a day in public school with the name Abdul, but then Paula Abdul came on the charts...when he was five.

Sayed attempting to reinvent himself when he is clearly on the record saying completely different. 🫣 Hope he wore his brown pants.

Even though he was born before Paula Abdul hit it big?

Has he explained his large weight loss as well? Ozempic? Fasting? Exercise?

El-Sayed's 2018 gubernatorial campaign claimed that his parents named him after singer Paula Abdul. She rose to fame years after his 1984 birth.

You MAGAts pretending to not understand the concept of a nickname makes you look both racist and stupid 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They named him after Paula Abdul, because AES is "as Michigan as it gets."

Guess what genius? His parents named him after Paula Abdul. That doesn’t change the meaning of Abdul. Where do we get these idiots?

guy that thinks he understands what’s being said

If they only knew Paula Abdul is Jewish...

The year he was born Paula Abdul was not yet famous.

“Elect me because of the name my mommy chose,” is a tough slogan for a bumper sticker. MOMMA’S BOY ‘26 Even EPONYMOUS 26 lacks meaning.

Recalls Hillary saying she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary.

It’s hard to keep track of all the lies told during a political career

He says whatever to pander to whatever audience he is addressing. Then if elected STRAIGHT NAZI !!!

So let’s just call him Paul Abdul

i think they named him after someone else

It seems more likely he changed his name because his first name was chosen specifically by his parents and means a servant of the most high, Allah.

You do realize it’s possible for two things to be true at once, right?? Also, that’s not what he said in 2018, he said he shortened it to the nickname “Abdul” after Paula Abdul, not that that was his full name given at birth.

A Servant for Paula Abdul. Ok.

A picture is worth a Qu'ran or a Communist Manifesto...

MAZE ALWAYS WITH THE RECEIPTS 🧾!!! UFFFFFF

He could have just said Alahu Akbar

Both of those could be true at the same time.

Abdul is an Islamist. He hates you. He hates America. He is lying to you.

The POS has a foreigners name Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed that in no way assimilate to the American culture or language.
