Christian Musician Kid Rock Compares Abdul El-Sayed to 9/11 Hijackers
Maher interrupted with a fact-check after Kid Rock invoked the 9/11 hijackers while questioning Abdul El-Sayed’s assimilation and beliefs.
- On Friday, musician Kid Rock compared Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed to the 9/11 hijackers during an appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher, prompting the host to fact-check the claim.
- Maher had referenced Donald Trump's claims that El-Sayed would 'open the floodgates' to jihadists, then asked Kid Rock whether he actually believed the candidate posed the threat Trump described.
- Kid Rock argued Islamic extremism 'scares the hell out of me' and questioned whether El-Sayed might hide radical beliefs, claiming the 9/11 hijackers were also assimilated despite their education and backgrounds.
- Maher interrupted to fact-check, noting the hijackers were not well-assimilated and originated from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Lebanon, directly contradicting Kid Rock's assertion.
- The exchange occurred as Democrats push for the Michigan Democratic Senate seat, while Kid Rock recently described efforts to become less polarizing, highlighting tensions over Muslim candidates in American politics.
