Mike Rogers Addresses Trump’s Remarks About Opponent Abdul El-Sayed in CNN Interview
Rogers said Trump’s attacks on Abdul El-Sayed were about ideology, not faith, as the Michigan Senate race turns to Muslim Brotherhood claims.
- Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers stepped up attacks over the weekend, attempting to link Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood during a CNN interview with Dana Bash.
- Allegations stem from a 2012 social-media post by El-Sayed's half-sister regarding their mother's activism in the Muslim Brotherhood; El-Sayed's campaign denied the claims, noting he had little contact with his mother during childhood.
- During a town hall in Caro, El-Sayed condemned the organization, arguing that questioning his loyalty based on faith mirrors the anti-Catholic bias John F. Kennedy faced during his 1960 presidential campaign.
- President Donald Trump escalated the rhetoric in an Oval Office video, arguing El-Sayed was "absolutely Muslim Brotherhood," referencing the organization the administration designated a terror group in January.
- The Michigan Senate race remains critical for control of the chamber, with both campaigns leveraging ideological disputes to define the central choice for voters two weeks before Election Day.
