‘Jihadists being elected’: Trump attacks Democratic candidates in US midterm elections
Donald Trump also hit out at people of Somali descent, saying "they are not smart and have no aptitude."
US President Donald Trump criticized Democratic candidates in the midterm elections by labeling them as "jihadists" during a press conference at the Oval Office. He argued that these candidates, many of whom have backgrounds from failed countries, are unqualified to advise on US governance. Trump pointed out their objections to the US Supreme Court and the Senate, deeming their suggestions as "stupid."
He also shared an image of Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who won the Democratic nomination for the US Senate in Michigan, alongside his own image, depicting two very different Americas. El-Sayed responded to the allegations, stating that the image showed two people who genuinely love each other. Other Republican leaders, including Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville and South Carolina Rep Nancy Mace, have also escalated their rhetoric against Muslims, calling El-Sayed a "TERRORIST" and a "radical Islamist."
