Trump escalates anti-Muslim attacks against El-Sayed in Michigan

President Trump called Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed a 'jihadist' who is 'on the side of the terrorists' during a rally in Port Huron, invoking 9/11 and questioning his loyalty. The remarks drew condemnation from Bishara Bahbah, a founder of Arab Americans for Trump, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, while El-Sayed called the attacks shameful. The race against Republican Mike Rogers could decide Senate control. The article notes there is no evidence El-Sayed has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, though it also details criticism of El-Sayed's own rhetoric and his links to streamer Hasan Piker.
