El-Sayed apologizes to Jewish Democrats for synagogue attack comment
El-Sayed said he should have condemned the violence without adding that "hurt people hurt people," as he tries to reassure skeptical Jewish Democrats.
- On Saturday, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed apologized to the Michigan Democratic Jewish Caucus for his remark "hurt people hurt people" following a March attack on Temple Israel synagogue.
- The controversy stems from El-Sayed's response to the March 12 attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, where an assailant inspired by Hezbollah rammed a vehicle into the synagogue.
- El-Sayed told reporters, "To anybody who feels like my comments might have been hurtful, I'm really sorry," admitting he should have simply condemned the violence instead of offering broader context.
- State Sen. Jeremy Moss described the remarks as "something that a lot of people in that room needed to hear," as the apology aims to unify the party before November's election against Republican Mike Rogers.
- Regarding his campaign, El-Sayed stated, "This election is not about the past," while distancing himself from streamer Hasan Piker, who made controversial comments about American Jews and Israel.
