Sanders Condemns Anti-Muslim Ads Targeting Michigan Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed

Bernie Sanders has denounced anti-Muslim advertisements targeting Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic candidate for the US Senate in Michigan, describing them as “racist and disgusting.”

The criticism focused on attacks aimed at El-Sayed’s Muslim identity. Sanders condemned the advertisements as an expression of prejudice.

He linked the attacks to what he described as the Trump administration’s exploitation of racism to divert attention from issues affecting workers.

Sanders’ response framed the advertisements as more than an attack on a single candidate, arguing that such prejudice serves to distract from working people’s concerns.
