(opens the publisher’s site)Republicans have escalated anti-Muslim attacks on Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed in a race that could decide control of the chamber.
- Trump called El-Sayed a "jihadist," said metal detectors would be needed in the Senate, and said Black or Jewish voters backing him are "crazy."
- Moreno said El-Sayed should be "nowhere near Washington, D.C.," asserting that rights come from God and Jesus.
- Rogers said El-Sayed has links to the Muslim Brotherhood, which El-Sayed has disavowed.
- El-Sayed leads Rogers 49% to 42% among likely voters in a CNN/SSRS poll released Thursday.
