On July 16, polls showed that Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed was losing black voters to Haley Stevens by nearly 50 points. El-Sayed's campaign is now trying to do damage control, and it's probably not going to go well for him.

Black women have to work an extra 7 months to earn what white men earn in a year. Equal work deserves equal pay. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay

It did not take long for that post to get slapped with a Community Note, and rightly so: it's a blatant lie.

Here's what one Community Note read:

The gender pay gap exists only when job comparisons are not equal (uncontrolled). When data is controlled by factors such as job title, experience, education, industry, job level and hours worked, women's earnings are almost equal to men; $.99 for every $1.00 men make.

According to Payscale.com, one of the sources cited for that Community note, when uncontrolled, the pay gap between women and men is 82 cents. When controlled, it's 99 cents.

Not this again. Please stop. https://t.co/9VI8QK5kaH

It's all he's got.

Polls show you don’t have the support among Black voters. Suddenly you want everyone to believe you care.

The real question is: what happens after the election?

I worry Black women will be among those hurt most by the policies your administration is proposing.

The Islamist communism El-Sayed and his DSA allies are pushing does not go over well with black voters.

He won't because his narrative falls apart.

Also, socialists believe the burger flipper at the local McDonald's should make the same as the plumber and the nurse.

A lot of people try to sanewash voter views on gender pay discrimination. I can assure you that, no, they are not relying upon subtle arguments about collider bias. They just have a completely wrong view of the world. The conservatives are right, here. https://t.co/kMMMoSVNyD

No, he's not. He knows exactly what he's doing.

Yes, it's total nonsense.
