US foreign aid to Israel highlighted in campaign ad in support of El-Sayed

A new political campaign ad in support of US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is generating conversation online.

At a rally in Port Huron on Sunday, US President Donald Trump disparaged Jewish voters who support Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, calling them "ashamed" of themselves. Trump urged these supporters to never speak to them again. El-Sayed, who polls show is narrowly leading Republican nominee Mike Rogers in a race that could determine control of the Senate, has been criticized by Trump for her stance against US military aid to Israel and her criticism of Israel.

El-Sayed's Muslim background has also been a point of contention for Trump, who called her a "jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member" and warned that if she and the Democrats win, they will "open the floodgates" and invite terrorists to the US.
