El-Sayed hits Rogers on GOP convention appearance in new online game
The retro-style game sends players through Florida-to-Michigan obstacles before redirecting them to Rogers’s GOP convention appearance in Dallas.
- On Thursday, Republican U.S. Senate nominee Mike Rogers addressed the GOP midterm convention in Dallas, criticizing Democratic opponent Abdul El-Sayed for his association with streamer Hasan Piker and invoking Piker's past comments that America "deserved" the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
- El-Sayed has faced scrutiny for his ties to Piker, who once remarked that America "deserved" the attacks. While El-Sayed has disavowed the specific comment as "dumb," Rogers continues to highlight the connection to question his judgment.
- In response, El-Sayed's campaign highlighted that Rogers voted against the 2010 James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which provided medical services to nearly 155,000 first responders and survivors suffering from illnesses linked to Ground Zero exposure.
- Mocking Rogers for moving to Florida, El-Sayed recently launched a retro-style video game titled 'Come Home, Mike.' Rogers' campaign dismissed the game as a distraction, stating, "While plays games, we'll keep talking to Michiganders."
- The Michigan Senate race remains a toss-up as both candidates intensify their attacks. The reliance on 9/11-related rhetoric and personal jabs reflects high stakes in replacing retiring Democratic Senator Gary Peters.
