Trump Attacks Michigan Senate Candidate El-Sayed as 'Jihadist' and 'Fake'
President Donald Trump attacked Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Friday, calling him a "jihadist" and a "fake" with alleged Muslim Brotherhood ties, while campaigning for Republican rival Mike Rogers. Trump urged reporters to examine El-Sayed's past statements. Speaking on the White House South Lawn before a Florida rally, Trump said El-Sayed "can't be in our Senate" and accused him of misrepresenting his political positions. He claimed the candidate was "a member, probably still is, of the Muslim Brotherhood," without providing evidence. Trump's remarks came ahead of his planned Michigan visit for the November midterm elections, where he endorsed Rogers as "a great senator." The president offered no documented findings to support his allegations during the exchange.
