Ted Cruz Calls Abdul El-Sayed a "Jihadist Leprechaun," as GOP Closing Message Leans Into Attacks
Cruz said El-Sayed’s win would help normalize a more progressive Democratic nominee and strengthen AOC’s 2028 prospects, citing 14% to 16% polling support.
- On Wednesday in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan, Republican Senator Ted Cruz claimed that if Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed wins next week's Senate election, there is a "very real risk that Americans will die" due to potential security clearance access.
- Cruz and Republican opponent Mike Rogers have repeatedly alleged that El-Sayed has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, citing resurfaced social media posts from his half-sister from 2012 and 2013 regarding their birthmother's past activism in Egypt.
- El-Sayed has "absolutely" disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood, while campaign spokesperson Cole Wozniak denounced the comments as a "bigoted anti-Muslim smear campaign" intended to distract voters from economic concerns.
- Because senators receive automatic security clearance upon election, Cruz argued that Senate leadership could place El-Sayed on the Senate Intelligence Committee, which holds access to the nation's "most closely guarded secrets."
- Predicting broader electoral consequences, Cruz declared that an El-Sayed victory would clear the path for Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to become the Democratic Party nominee for president in 2028, while the Michigan race remains a toss-up.
