- Sen. Tim Scott and the NRSC pushed a one-second clip of Democratic candidate Abdul El‑Sayed saying “I’m pretty damn dangerous,” but critics say that soundbite was ripped out of context.
- In the full July 25 speech, El‑Sayed framed being “dangerous” as a threat to Big Pharma, Big Tech, big banks and other powerful interests — and presented himself as an ally to struggling Americans.
- The ad also drew backlash for using El‑Sayed’s full legal name and for misleading editing; the NRSC defended the clip by pointing to the isolated line, fueling debate over dishonest political ads.
