Mike Rogers accuses Abdul el Sayed of wanting to ‘represent Palestine’ over Michigan

Published Updated



Michigan GOP Senate nominee Mike Rogers used his Thursday speech at the Republican midterm convention to accuse his Democratic rival, Abdul el Sayed, of aspiring to represent a foreign territory over the state they’re running to serve.

The remarks came amid a feud between the candidates over national security ahead of Friday’s 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, with Rogers portraying el Sayed as a threat to the United States if sent to Washington and condemning his relationship with controversial Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who once said America “deserved” 9/11 before walking it back.
