Trump targets Senate seeker El-Sayed over Islamic faith
What happened
President Trump made a post associating El-Sayed with jihadist terrorism, calling him a "RADICAL Extremist, Terrorist Sympathizer". El-Sayed has distanced himself from Trump's claims and accused the President of trying to distract from his policies. Trump misspelled El-Sayed's middle name and compared him to America-hating streamer Hasan Piker. El-Sayed's opponent, Mike Rogers, is a Republican.
