Michigan Senate race heats up as GOP targets El-Sayed's Muslim faith

Republicans are attacking Michigan Senate Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed over his Muslim faith and alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, which he denies, drawing comparisons to past attacks on JFK and Obama. El-Sayed denounced the Muslim Brotherhood at a town hall after a voter pressed him, accusing Republicans of exploiting "dual loyalty" fears. His opponent Mike Rogers says the issue is ideology, not religion, citing family connections and past statements. The GOP attacks follow resurfaced tweets from El-Sayed's half-sister and scrutiny of his mother's past work, while President Trump has falsely called him a "jihadist" at rallies.
