GOP moves to make Abdul el Sayed face of Democratic Party
Republicans have also begun emphasizing his full name, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, a tactic the nominee accused them of using to divide voters. Republican Mike Rogers is hoping to flip the seat red as Sen. The ad opens with el Sayed standing beside Piker saying, “I’m not here to disavow people’s views.” It then cuts to clips of Piker saying “America deserved 9/11” before highlighting comments from Sen.
