Trump invokes 9/11 to urge Michigan voters to oppose El-Sayed
The US president has sought to paint the Democratic Michigan candidate Abdul El-Sayed as an anti-American Muslim radical, likening him to the attackers.
President Donald Trump rallied supporters in Port Huron, Michigan, on Sunday, urging them to oppose Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Trump alleged that El-Sayed is a Muslim extremist, likening him to the 9/11 attackers. He claimed that if El-Sayed were elected, he would be the first Muslim senator and that Democrats would allow violent anti-American terrorists into the United States.
El-Sayed dismissed the accusations, defending his faith and American patriotism in a recent advertisement. Michigan is a key battleground state, with the US Senate race between Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat El-Sayed being closely contested. The outcome of this election could determine control of the Senate.
