They’re not talking about any of the things that the government is actually supposed to solve. Why?
Because Donald Trump has created those problems.”At a rally in Michigan on Sunday, Trump unleashed repeated baseless claims against El-Sayed, accusing the Democrat of wanting to impose “Sharia law” on the country.“He would be the only senator that will have to go through a metal detector before he’s allowed to go into the Senate,” Trump said. “I want him to have a metal detector.”El-Sayed laughed off the suggestion that he may personally be a physical threat to Congress. “He knows I got those Wolverine claws,” he said, a reference to the sports teams of his alma mater, the University of Michigan.The progressive Democrat and former public health official is locked in a close race with former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers, a contest that could decide the Senate majority for the next two years.Rogers has made unfounded allegations linking El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and Hezbollah a central point of his campaign.On Monday, El-Sayed said most Americans reject such attacks.“There are always a few small people who want to make America small like that. You see them; they’re very loud, and they bark,” El-Sayed said.“The vast majority of folks in this state believe in a big America.
They’re open-minded. They’re big-hearted.
And the story of America is those who believe in big America, overcoming the deception, the distraction, the sad attempts of the small-minded to make us small.”He added that “Michiganders are a lot bigger than that”.El-Sayed also addressed Trump’s statements mocking his name and misrepresenting it as “Mohamed”.“My name and my faith are not the reason you can’t afford your gas – not the reason you can’t afford your groceries, not the reason you can’t pay your rent, your mortgage, not the reason you can’t see a doctor,” he said.
