A new ad from Mike Rogers wrecked Abdul El-Sayed for caring about Gaza more than Michigan.
The ad features video clips of El-Sayed saying “Gaza” eight times, and then showing clips of voters saying that they don’t trust El-Sayed.
The ad features debate footage of Rogers claiming that El-Sayed wants to represent Palestine while Rogers wants to represent Michigan.
Abdul El-Sayed wants to represent Palestine, I want to represent Michigan. https://t.co/AuW5oKFvP4

El-Sayed says he wants to focus on affordability in Michigan, but then says that he wants a seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Abdul El-Sayed says he's running on affordability, so why does he want a seat on @SenateForeign? Is it to defend the Muslim Brotherhood against its terrorist designation, or to use the seat as a platform to attack Israel as a "rogue state"? I sit on that committee, and someone with El-Sayed's radical views has no business on it. https://t.co/cGc069O4e8

During the Michigan Senate debate last week, Rogers slammed El-Sayed’s for owning property overseas and his family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. El-Sayed claims that his family isn’t connected to the Muslim Brotherhood, but El-Sayed’s sister has said that their family has “long been” in the group.
According to his own sister, Abdul El-Sayed’s family has “long been” Muslim Brotherhood. Abdul needs to be honest with Michiganders about he and his families ties to terrorism. https://t.co/0OhSBTpPg8

El-Sayed has repeatedly been asked whether Iran is a bigger threat than Israel to the U.S. He won’t answer the question.

With the Nov. 3 election quickly approaching, El-Sayed convinced Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) to send his campaign $1 million and campaign with him in Michigan. Ocasio-Cortez told TMZ that exposing El-Sayed’s family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood was “racist.”
AOC says it’s “racist” to call out Abdul El-Sayed for his family’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. https://t.co/iT8uLtYZQ5
