Abdulrahman Al-Sayed responds to Trump: I will be 'Senator Mohamed'

Washington – Agencies: U.S. President Donald Trump continued his attacks against Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, describing him as a “jihadist” and referring to him by the name “Mohammed.” Speaking at a campaign rally in Port Huron, Trump said, “I am here to prevent a jihadist and member of the Muslim Brotherhood from entering the U.S. Senate; that is the truth, and I will not allow it to happen.” The Muslim Brotherhood has become a focal point of controversy in Michigan’s Senate race, with Republicans attempting to portray El-Sayed as sympathetic to entities linked to Islamic terrorism, while the candidate insists he is facing unjust accusations of “dual loyalties,” the same charge previously leveled against Presidents John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama. Last week, El-Sayed condemned the Muslim Brotherhood. Trump continued to echo this rhetoric, claiming that El-Sayed wants the United States to “implement Islamic law.” In response, El-Sayed said at a campaign rally, “I don’t even care if he remembers my full name; he can simply address me as ‘Senator’ after November,” adding, addressing Trump directly, “I’ll be ‘Senator Mohammed’ to you, my friend.”
