WASHINGTON, D.C. — Praise is pouring in for Mike Rogers’ debate performance last night, exposing Abdul El-Sayed as a certified conman whose dangerous, socialist policies would raise taxes on every Michigander and prop up the terrorist organizations funding his campaign.
What they are saying:
Steve Cortes: “Nuked: Mike Rogers: ‘Abdul can’t condemn Hamas. He can’t condemn the Muslim Brotherhood. He says his home is Egypt.’”
Ryan King, New York Post: “Mike Rogers clobbers Abul El-Sayed as ‘fake doctor’ who’d be jailed for treating patients during feisty Michigan debate.”
Karoline Leavitt, former White House Press Secretary: “I had the pleasure of watching Mike Rogers tonight, President Trump’s endorsed candidate in Michigan, and he did an exceptional job exposing El-Sayed for the radical, extreme liberal Democrat and leftist that he is. And Mike Rogers was absolutely right to point out that El-Sayed is a complete and total fraud and con man.”
Michael LaRosa: “WOW! I’ve yet to see Abdul on heels like he was tonight! Rogers defied expectations. Watch the body language. Abdul looked deflated, hung his head, and begrudgingly shook the hands of the moderator. Rogers walked off stage with pep in his step…..smiling, confident, exuberant walking like a guy who KNOWS he not only won the debate but a guy who DECKED his opponent.”
Ryan King, New York Post: “El-Sayed refuses to say whether Iran is more of a threat than Israel in stunning Michigan Senate debate moment.”
Josh Kraushaar, Editor in Chief of Jewish Insider: “El-Sayed, for his part, said he would not support defensive aid to Israel even if it was under attack, framed Israel as a threat to the United States comparable to Iran.”
Eyal Yakoby: “Mike Rogers is not holding back at the debate tonight. He just directly called out Abdul for supporting Hamas and Al-Qaeda, along with taking millions from dark money groups.”
Eric Daugherty: “MI Senate candidate Mike Rogers just CALLED OUT Abdul El Sayed to his face for refusing to condemn the IRGC, which m*rdered and executed THOUSANDS of civilians…And El Sayed STILL can’t say a word against them. Any time the IRGC comes up, he PIVOTS to condemn America. Because he wants the Islamic leftist vote!”
Benny Johnson: “Abdul El-Sayed just called for amnesty for millions of illegal aliens: ‘We need a pathway to citizenship for folks stuck in limbo right now.’ There are over 30 million illegals here. Instead of deporting them, Democrats want to make them voters.”
Townhall: “For anyone keeping score: Abdul’s mom funneled money to Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. Abdul’s father-in-law is on the board of CAIR. Abdul’s sister-in-law was on the terrorist watchlist. And Abdul’s sister celebrated October 7th the morning of the attacks.”
DSA Watch: “Mike Rogers: ‘Abdul El-Sayed owns 2 foreign properties. 1 in the UAE. Where’s the other one?’
Abdul El-Sayed: *Nervous laughter and stutters*
Mike Rogers: ‘Yeah that’s exactly right’”
Andrew Kolvet: “LOL. Abdul El-Sayed just melted down on stage when Mike Rogers tied his biggest funders to groups that support the Muslim Brotherhood…Then it got even worse for El-Sayed, who Rogers says owns a home in the UAE, when he tried to insult Rogers for having a home in FL: ‘At least Florida’s in the United States.’“
Abigail Jackson: “The way El-Sayed sighs as if he’s bored when Rogers is describing the horrific crimes from Oct 7…”
Steve Guest: “.@NoahCRothman calls out Abdul El-Sayed’s ties to terrorism on CNN NewsNight in the wake of the debate with Mike Rogers: ‘The Muslim Brotherhood, said it a million times, but has the advantage of being correct. [El-Sayed] has surrounded himself, including high-profile family members, with individuals who have ties to CAIR, which is aligned, which has been implicated in terrorism financing scandals. Can’t condemn the attack on the synagogue without condemning Israel in the same voice. Can’t celebrate the death of the Ayatollah Khomeini who killed Americans, and so on and so forth. Eventually, you have to confront the evidence of your own eyes.’”
Jamie Metzl: “Abdul El-Sayed is entirely unfit to serve in the U.S. Senate, not because of his name or religion, but because of his deeply troubling, anti-American views. I am a Democrat who very much wants our party to regain control of the House and Senate. But embracing toxic bigots like El-Sayed, Darializa Chevalier, and Zohran Mamdani will do far more damage to our party and its electoral prospects than any political advantage we might gain from embracing them.”
