Vance, Rogers keep up attacks on El-Sayed during Michigan rally
For El-Sayed, however, Vance, Rogers, and others went a step further and tried to connect him specifically to terrorist groups. Rogers continued a line of attacks from a debate last week.
El-Sayed, a Michigan-born and raised son of Egyptian immigrants, has called the claims unserious and ridiculous. While speaking at a campaign rally in Marquette Thursday night, El-Sayed responded to Vance’s insults.
“When you’ve got a name like mine you see the best of us, and too often sometimes you see the worst of us. And there are always a few very loud people who are small and want to make us small like them,” El-Sayed said…

Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers says he saw Bin Laden’s body with his ‘own eyes’. He did not
A New York Times fact check pointed out that the second part of Rogers’s “incendiary statement” was false: it was not El-Sayed, but one of his supporters, the Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who once said that the US deserved 9/11, before retracting and apologizing for that statement seven years before he endorsed El-Sayed.
For his part, El-Sayed has clearly denounced the 9/11 attacks for years. In a recollection of that day written in 2021, El-Sayed wrote: “
I watched terrorists with names like mine attack my country in the name of my faith. Three thousand of my fellow Americans were killed in the craven terrorist attacks in New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania. The attack devastated me.”
