9/11 hero’s father urges Michigan voters to reject Democratic socialists
David Beamer, father of Flight 93 hero Todd Beamer, warned Michigan voters that Democratic socialists aim to undermine America and urged them to vote for Mike Rogers.
On a televised interview, David Beamer, whose son Todd helped thwart the hijackers on Flight 93, cautioned Michigan voters that Democratic socialists constitute an internal danger to the nation. He argued that their chosen tool is the ballot, not bombs, and called for a “vote American” to stop them. Beamer endorsed Republican Senate hopeful Mike Rogers, criticizing Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and linking the campaign to past controversial social-media posts about 9/11.
He drew parallels between the surprise of the September 11 attacks and the need for vigilance in the upcoming election. The former Flight 93 passenger’s remarks aim to influence the Senate race by invoking the legacy of his son’s heroism.
