Trump Calls Abdul El-Sayed a 'Terrorist Sympathizer' in Michigan Race
Trump called Abdul El-Sayed a terrorist sympathizer and misnamed him in a Truth Social post as the Michigan Senate race stays tight, polls show.
- On Wednesday evening, President Donald Trump attacked Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Truth Social, misidentifying him as "Mohammed El-Sayed" and branding him a "terrible Candidate."
- The president's comments followed a Tuesday outburst where he criticized Fox News for its coverage of Democratic candidates, specifically targeting El-Sayed after his interview with anchor Martha MacCallum.
- Trump repeatedly labeled the candidate a "RADICAL Extremist" and "Terrorist Sympathizer," while invoking "Jihad" to characterize his values as "WRONG for Michigan, and WRONG for America."
- Critics accused the president of "straight-up racism" for the name error, with social media users noting no candidate named Mohammed El-Sayed is currently running for office in America.
- Polls show El-Sayed leading Republican rival Mike Rogers by a narrow margin, prompting Trump to offer his "COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT" to Rogers in the tight race.
