Mike Rogers Smokes El-Sayed After Another | Political News
It’s Tuesday. And a day ending in “y.”
So you already know that there has to be another story about how Democrat Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed has said one thing that makes you go, “Hmmm…”
The Washington Free Beacon has discovered yet another problematic remark from El-Sayed. This one is from 2017.
El-Sayed was reportedly born in Michigan in October 1984. Yet, right here he makes a comment at the Michigan Democrat Party’s Progressive Caucus event on Feb. 11, 2017, proper after he declared his run for governor. “I’m done with this notion that certain kinds of people cannot rise up to be a part of leadership in this society,” he said, according to the Free Beacon.
“If you agree with me that we have an opportunity to rethink the way we do government, that we can all come together, that, despite the fact that I may be an immigrant from North Africa, and that I may be a different faith and I may pray a different way, that we all pray for the same thing. And I pray for us.”
So why was he making that remark about being “an immigrant from North Africa” if he was born right here in the United States?
People are already reacting.

His opponent, GOP nominee Mike Rogers, just smoked him.
Wait a minute… Abdual Citizen is now claiming to be “an immigrant from North Africa”? He can’t even keep up with his own lies.

Add that to the 2 prior events when El-Sayed said issues about having twin citizenship, including on his tutorial resume in 2014 and in 2016, when he told an viewers in Detroit, where he was metropolis health director at the time, that he had “dual citizenship” in Egypt and the United States. His marketing campaign claims he was mistaken about that level based on inaccurate info allegedly told to him by a member of the family, but they didn’t identify the member of the family nor say when he supposedly realized of this “mistake.”
Then there have been his disqualifying responses when requested to condemn the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) (he did not), and refusing to say which was the larger risk to the U.S.: Iran or Israel, which Rogers also called him out over.
Then, on top of those issues, as we reported earlier, El-Sayed was in hassle after denying that his household had any connection to the Muslim Brotherhood, and then tweets by his sister that said in any other case resurfaced.
As we famous, his marketing campaign’s response to that was dangerous, not dealing with the substance of the tweets but just attacking Rogers for pointing them out. The marketing campaign said the claims had been “untrue” and “racist.” But they did not handle what the tweets said.
At this level, Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate bid is taking on water, and it is not trying good.
Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will decide the destiny of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must keep control of both chambers of Congress.
