Republican attacks linking Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood have prompted him to denounce the group and the alleged "dual loyalty" framing.
- El-Sayed this weekend denounced the Muslim Brotherhood, first in an exchange with a voter in Caro and later before reporters.
- Trump, at campaign rallies, has referred to El-Sayed as "Mohammed" and called him a "jihadist."
- Rogers said he has never called El-Sayed a terrorist but accused him of aligning with the Muslim Brotherhood.
- The heckler was identified as Thomas Teepell, a former aide to Republican Senator Josh Hawley.
