  "account": "During a rally in Port Huron, Michigan, President Donald Trump accused Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed of being a jihadist and member of the Muslim Brotherhood, comparing him to the 9/11 attackers. Trump stated that he is \"here to keep a jihadist, Muslim Brotherhood member from becoming a United States senator\" and urged voters to fight against El-Sayed, likening it to \"Michigan native Todd Beamer and others who fought back against the Flight 93 hijackers.\" El-Sayed has dismissed the allegations, defending his faith and reputation, while Michigan Republican Representative Mike Rogers has alleged without evidence that El-Sayed has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.",
  "summary": "Seeking to paint El-Sayed as an anti-American Muslim radical, Trump took the rhetoric to a new level, likening him to the attackers who took over United Flight 93 during the 11 September 2001 attacks.",
