Sanders: Trump’s racism is not new. Fifteen years ago, he came up with this lie that Obama was not born in America… Much of this campaign in Michigan right now is based on racist attacks against Abdul El-Sayed. The reason that they are using Islamophobia against Abdul is because they have nothing to say about the real issues facing working people. Mr. President, instead of slandering Abdul and his family, what are you going to do about the health care crisis in America? What are you going to do about the housing crisis? What are you going to do about income and wealth inequality? These guys have nothing to say about the real issues impacting working families, and all they can do is foment hatred and divisiveness.

Trump: El-Sayed campaigns with communist agitator Hasan Piker. He won’t disavow him. *plays Hasan Piker montage*

‼️ Did some canvassing in Saginaw, Michigan today. Democrats voters that wanted to talk said they will be/have sent in ballots for Abdul. But I also spoke to Republicans and independents that will be voting for him because of M4A and Israel/the war. I did not meet any Democrats for Mike Rogers. - I met two Republicans that were voting blue (mixed households). One said Israel has full control cover us, that they need to be stopped and he supports free healthcare. He said he liked how Abdul based his platform around it and how it’s possible. The other said because “gas is over $5 now because of this war” that “it needs to end” and “Trump doesn’t seem to care.” - One lady said she normally just votes blue but her son told her the importance of this election specifically and has been urging her to go vote early so she’s planning to this weekend - Spoke to a few independents. One said he hasn’t voted at all in a long time but will be voting for Abdul this time around.

AIPAC is seriously targeting the Black community in Detroit to suppress turnout and help Mike Rogers. They sent several text to Black voters in Detroit telling them that Abdul is disrespectful to Black People. The media is doing thesame . I hope y’all don’t fall for it.

El-Sayed: You can take your Trump back to Florida, Mike. Because we got president Barack Obama in the house.

El-Sayed: "Don't get it twisted. I love America. I'm so grateful I get to raise my 2 daughters here in America. I just love America enough to call on her to be America for all of her kids."

OBAMA: Some people say Abdul didn’t like some of the things you did as president. So Abdul didn't agree with some things. You know who else doesn't agree with everything I do. Michelle Obama.

Hasan Piker: “Trans people are 1% of the population. They shouldn’t be talked about endlessly. Muslims are 1% of the population. They shouldn’t be talked about endlessly. It’s not a Guatemalan migrant that made your housing more expensive. It’s your landlord, it’s hedge funds buying out all of these homes and rising up their prices. A transgender person is not the reason your energy costs are skyrocketing. It’s the wars we’re waging, the data centers sucking up the energy needs. This is just the truth”

Obama: "We've seen this movie before. I starred in it. I've got a long-form birth certification to prove it. This stuff didn't work on me. It's not going to work in Michigan on Abdul."

New @RebellionPac ad dropping in Michigan. We have to suffer here at home, so Israel can get all its wars. That’s why they buy politicians like Mike Rogers. He promised to serve Israel “unconditionally,” but never made that promise to you.

Michiganders: Early in-person voting began today, Saturday, October 24. It’s time to vote for Dr. Abdul El-Sayed!
The rules of the game have changed. Because of you, Michigan. We cannot be bought. Onto November.

El-Sayed: I have never been a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. I never will be a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. I'm interested in serving the United States, I'm interested in swearing an oath to the constitution that every senator has sworn an oath to.  If the question about my faith is the issue, which Mike Rogers wants it to be, I think it is sad and beneath him, and frankly beneath the President of the United States to make that an issue because under our constitution you're guaranteed the right to pray as you choose to pray
