Trump's 'Terrorist' Remark About Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed Draws Fire
Original: abdul el-sayed
Abdul El-Sayed, a US Senate candidate in Michigan, is at the centre of a political row after President Trump reportedly called him a terrorist. Republican opponent Mike Rogers has distanced himself from the remark, saying he has never used that term about El-Sayed. Meanwhile, conservative outlets are circulating resurfaced social media posts in which El-Sayed's sister allegedly linked the family to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood. Critics call the attacks smears, while supporters rally behind the candidate.
Why now: Trump's inflammatory comment and the accompanying allegations are fueling a heated Senate race debate in Michigan.
