Mike Rogers accuses Senate rival Abdul El-Sayed of longtime Muslim Brotherhood ties

Speaking on a national news broadcast, Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers asserted that Democratic contender Abdul El-Sayed has consistently supported the Muslim Brotherhood, an entity prohibited in five Muslim countries. Rogers emphasized that his criticism targets El-Sayed's ideological stance rather than his faith, noting that the candidate allegedly benefits from donations from the Council for American Islamic Relations, which he described as aligned with the Brotherhood.

He claimed that local Muslim voters have voiced fear over the prospect of such an ideology in the U.S. Senate. Rogers also referenced the Brotherhood's past impact on women's roles during its rule in Egypt in 2012-2013. The statements were delivered as part of Rogers' campaign outreach during the election cycle.
