Michigan Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed’s Wikipedia page was quietly whitewashed over the past few months by a mysterious editor, including scrubbing a series of antisemitism controversies, according to social media sleuths.

The editor — who goes by “CopyleftEverything” — is also responsible for dozens of other edits to pages on the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the American Communist Party and the Revolutionary Communists of America.

The editor was “diligent in what appears to be a clean-up of El-Sayed’s page” heading into Tuesday’s general election where the radical Dem defeated Republican Mike Rogers, according to investigative journalist Ashley Rindsberg.

Both Rindsberg, founder of online-campaign-influence tracker NPOV, and Yehuda Teitelbaum, a NYC-based researcher, separately tracked revisions to El-Sayed’s page and posted them this week on X.
