El-Sayed Addresses Past Obama Criticism, Says Democrats Now ‘Stand on the Shoulders of Giants’
El-Sayed said he no longer stands by a 2012 column criticizing Obama, as the two prepare to campaign together for Michigan Democrats.
- Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed disavowed a 2012 opinion piece criticizing President Barack Obama during a 'Meet the Press' interview, walking back claims of 'failures' weeks before the two headline a Detroit rally on October 24.
- Addressing the 14-year-old column, El-Sayed told host Kristen Welker he was 'younger' and 'angry about circumstances' in 2012, adding that he now appreciates how difficult presidential change truly is.
- Welker pressed El-Sayed on a March synagogue attack where he said 'hurt people hurt people,' prompting another apology and acknowledgment he spoke with Senator Elissa Slotkin, who is Jewish, about his remarks.
- El-Sayed faces former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers in the general election for the open Senate seat; Republicans initially favored him as an opponent, but his campaign has proven more competitive than expected.
- President Obama will headline the October 24 rally alongside El-Sayed and Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, the Democratic nominee vying to succeed Governor Gretchen Whitmer, in Detroit.
