Big get for @MikeRogersForMI. Lifelong Jewish Democrats in Michigan are REJECTING Abdul El-Sayed's radicalism, extremism, antisemitism, and anti-Americanism. WATCH: "I'm a lifelong Democrat, and I will NOT vote for El-Sayed--he is dangerous for America."

🚨 BONKERS: Abdul El-Sayed Gets Cozy With Hamas-Loving Editor Who Wants Jews Sent ‘Back to Poland’: Candidate Urged To ‘Soothe’ His Arab Supporters Abdul El-Sayed sought to "soothe" anti-Israel voters in Dearborn during a roundtable discussion this week with local activist Osama Siblani, who has called Hamas and Hezbollah "freedom fighters" and called for Israeli Jews to be sent "back to Poland." @FreeBeacon: freebeacon.com/democrats/abd…

To give you a sense of how far the Democratic Party has fallen, in today's @JNS_org story, @USJewishDems tout that they endorsed "171 pro-Israel Democrats this year—its largest number ever." The part JDCA conveniently left out? In July, 40 of JDCA's so-called "pro-Israel Democrats" voted in favor of Thomas Massie's amendment to end security assistance to the Jewish state. xitter.cf/RJC/status/20774981735…
RJC Applauds House Republicans for Defeating Massie + Democrat Effort to Strip All U.S. Aid to Israel The RJC applauds @HouseGOP for unanimously defeating Thomas Massie's reckless effort to strip all American aid to Israel from the State Department funding bill. Under the strong leadership of @POTUS Donald J. Trump and @SpeakerJohnson, America has Israel's back. Today, the GOP-led House of Representatives proved it. As the late, great Senator Lindsey Graham said: “Antisemitism, anti-Israel rhetoric is not the road [to victory]. You will lose.” He was proved right again. Take a hard look at who lined up behind Massie: 103 @HouseDemocrats. Make no mistake, Thomas Massie is a voice of one in the Republican Party. He is a lame duck outlier, and the Republican majority left no doubt about where our party stands: resolutely with the Jewish state. The contrast could not be clearer. In today's Democratic Party, vociferous hostility to Israel is not the fringe, it is their future. Democrats’ primaries are sending it to Congress, their leaders are indulging it, and their base is demanding it. Today's Democratic Party is being shaped in the image of the worst, most radicalized elements of its anti-Israel base, and the Squad's Hamas Caucus is leading the way. Today’s vote reaffirms the longstanding commitment of Republicans to stand unwaveringly with Israel through thick and thin. House Republicans ensured that America will stand behind the commitments made in the U.S.-Israel Security Assistance Memorandum of Understanding. We are grateful to President Trump, Speaker Johnson, and every Member who came through for our cherished ally once again.

It's no surprise Abdul El-Sayed cannot bring himself to directly condemn this vile ad--after all, El-Sayed appeared with Cenk Uygur on a panel just last month hosted by the Islamic Society of North America, a Muslim Brotherhood-linked group. via @FreeBeacon: Abdul El-Sayed To Join Panel With 9/11 Conspiracy Theorists at Islamic Convention Days Before 9/11 Anniversary freebeacon.com/democrats/abd…
Another stunning contrast in Michigan: While Haley Stevens clearly and unequivocally denounced this insane ad as “fearmongering”, Abdul El-Sayed spins and dodges the issue. All as @USJewishDems share El-Sayed’s pathetic statement. Spineless, and revealing.

El-Sayed campaign statement: "This ad is not affiliated in any way with the Abdul for Senate campaign. Abdul is focused on pushing back against Trump’s agenda that is raising prices for Michiganders. No one speaks for Abdul but himself and his campaign." #MISEN

America-hating Ilhan Omar is campaigning today with antisemitic bigot Hasan Piker. "America deserved 9/11" - Piker 🤝 "Some people did something" on 9/11 - Omar Minnesota: on November 3rd, reject this radicalism, extremism and anti-Americanism.
Ilhan Omar — who said "some people did something" on 9/11 — champions Hasan Piker: CNN: Is Hasan Piker a good campaign surrogate for Democrats? OMAR: "He does have a certain reach...we see a lot more volunteers coming out...because they hear Hasan say...'get involved.'"

🚨 This Wednesday, October 28: RJC will host a Michigan Community Conversation: "Who Will Keep Us Safe? Rogers vs. El-Sayed in the Wake of October 7th and the Temple Israel Attack", featuring Senator @tedcruz (R-TX) and GOP nominee for US Senate in Michigan @MikeRogersForMI, moderated by RJC Board Member @JeffMillerCA2TX, CEO of Miller Strategies and Chairman of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. ⬇️
🚨 RJC to Host Community Conversation in Michigan, Featuring Senator @tedcruz and @MikeRogersForMI, GOP Nominee for US Senate: “Who Will Keep Us Safe? Rogers vs. El-Sayed in the Wake of October 7th and the Temple Israel Attack" moderated by RJC Board Member @JeffMillerCA2TX, CEO of Miller Strategies and Chairman of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. The RJC looks forward to hosting Senator Ted Cruz and Mike Rogers in Michigan for a community conversation, less than one week before Election Day, to discuss the critical issues facing Jewish Michiganders. The stakes could not be higher. In March, after a Hezbollah-inspired terrorist attacked Temple Israel in West Bloomfield with 140 Jewish preschoolers inside, El-Sayed responded by making excuses for the terrorist. Just this week, on the third anniversary of October 7th, El-Sayed couldn’t muster one word about the monstrous massacre of innocents in Israel, including the murder of 46 Americans. El-Sayed libelously smears Israel as "bloodthirsty" and "just as evil" as Hamas. He campaigns with notorious bigot Hasan Piker, who said "America deserved 9/11”. At their debate this week, El-Sayed shamefully said that Iran and Israel are equal threats to the United States. This is all from the same man who happily takes campaign funding from radicals with ties to terrorist groups. Every day, Abdul El-Sayed shows us exactly who he is. He has disqualified himself to represent the Wolverine State in the US Senate. It’s why so many Jewish Michiganders, including lifelong Democrats — rabbis, community leaders, and longtime party activists and donors — are saying they will not vote for him. Michigan deserves a US Senator as good as its people. Mike Rogers is a distinguished Army veteran and former FBI special agent who chaired the House Intelligence Committee. He spent fourteen years in Congress as one of the most reliable pro-America, pro-Israel voices in the House, and he has been unflinching about confronting antisemitism wherever it appears. Mike Rogers has earned Jewish Michiganders’ trust and support. Abdul El-Sayed is dangerous for America and Michigan’s Jewish community.

Oz had three GOP opponents in his primary. None made an issue of his religion. You should already know this. So what’s the difference between Oz and Abdul? Oz is normal. Abdul is an extremist. He blames terrorism on US policies. He’s endorsed by the Muslim Brotherhood. Members of the MB donate to him. Stop shielding Abdul’s risky extremism by hiding behind Abdul’s religion.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸
43 years ago, Hezbollah terrorists attacked U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, and killed 241 Americans. We will never forget their sacrifice. 🇺🇸 The attack was directed, financed and ordered by the same evil Iranian regime that President Trump is fighting today.

It’s so completely sickening that anyone would consider voting for someone who represents the worst of extremism and stands against the values that make our country so great. This isn’t just dangerous politics. It’s a betrayal of everything America stands for and everything so many Americans made the ultimate sacrifice to protect and it scares me for the country our children will inherit.
Abdul El-Sayed is too extreme and dangerous for America.

Abdul El-Sayed "is dangerous for the Jewish people and dangerous for America." Listen to lifelong Jewish Democrats in Michigan who are REJECTING El-Sayed:
Abdul El-Sayed justified a terrorist attack in Michigan targeting 140 Jewish children. Listen to this lifelong Democrat tell NBC News why she’s voting for Mike Rogers. Abdul’s justification that “hurt people hurt people” was unacceptable, and we know his apology for it was fake.

Abdul El-Sayed claims he has "no ties" to the terror-designated Muslim Brotherhood. He's lying. Why did the Muslim Brotherhood celebrate his primary victory? ‘Muslim Brotherhood official website’ celebrates Abdul El-Sayed’s U.S. Senate primary victory themidwesterner.news/2026/08…
Abdul El-Sayed’s radical ideology is a threat to our national security.

Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen. I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn. And I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country.
