ACK: Democratic Michigan Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed
TAG: El-Sayed’s opponent, Republican Mike Rogers, rallied with President Trump on Sunday in Michigan as the G-O-P hopes to maintain their Senate majority. The president faced scrutiny for comments made at the rally after he once again referred to El-Sayed as a “jihadist” who was “on the side of the terrorists” … an attack that El-Sayed has called racist and Islamophobic.
