Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers brought attention to Abdul el Sayed’s disdain for the state’s beloved Mackinac Island with a trolling post.

The left-wing Senate hopeful’s hot-mic comment regarding his dislike of the island, captured in a 2020 documentary around his failed 2018 gubernatorial run, resurfaced online shortly after el Sayed won the Democratic nomination for Michigan’s Senate seat. Rogers quickly seized on the gaffe, signaling his love for Mackinac in a post on X.
