El-Sayed: Trump has as much regard for Constitution as ‘a piece of toilet paper’
Trump intensified attacks on Abdul El-Sayed’s Muslim faith as polls show him narrowly ahead in the Michigan Senate race, according to FiftyPlusOne.
- 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.
