A left-wing dark money network funded by the Democratic megadonor George Soros sent voters in Michigan unsolicited mailers resembling a newspaper that falsely identify Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed as a "veteran." The mailer, from the Michigan Independent—part of a national left-wing organization founded by the Democratic operative David Brock, the American Independent—is designed to look like a nonpartisan local newspaper. Partisan content aimed at propping up Democrats is peppered amid recipes for "Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake" from "The Mitten Kitchen." The partisan content includes a piece on El-Sayed's primary win headlined, "El-Sayed — veteran, doctor, and former health official — is Democratic Senate pick." El-Sayed has never served in the military, and while he attended medical school and has described himself as a "physician," he has never been licensed to practice medicine, Politico reported.
