Trump escalates anti-Muslim rhetoric at Michigan rally, targeting Muslim Senate candidate
President claims Abdul El-Sayed poses security threat; El-Sayed denies extremism ties
President Trump escalated anti-Muslim rhetoric at a Michigan rally for GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers on Monday, targeting Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed by calling him a 'jihadist' and baselessly accusing him of ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and wanting to impose sharia law. El-Sayed has repeatedly denied ties to extremist groups, with no evidence emerging to support the claims.
