El-Sayed: Trump has as much regard for Constitution as ‘a piece of toilet paper’
Trump accused the Democrat of jihadist ties and warned Jewish voters against him as the Senate race tightens, while El-Sayed said the attacks are a distraction.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump attacked Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed at a Port Huron, Michigan rally, calling him a "jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member" and claiming he would need a metal detector to enter the Senate.
- Republican candidate Mike Rogers has previously linked El-Sayed to extremist groups including the Muslim Brotherhood, while Trump alleged the Democrat wants to impose "Sharia law" on the country.
- During the event, Trump invoked antisemitic tropes about Jewish voters and welcomed David Beamer, whose son was killed in the 9/11 attacks, to amplify the rhetoric against El-Sayed.
- On Monday, El-Sayed dismissed the attacks at a Detroit news conference, calling them "deflections and deceptions based on no evidence" designed to distract from inflation and the war on Iran.
- Bishara Bahbah, founder of Arab Americans for Trump, criticized Trump's comments as "racist," while the competitive Michigan race could determine Senate control for the next two years.
