Sanders condemns anti-Muslim ads targeting Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed

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

El-Sayed, whose full name is Abdul Rahman El-Sayed, is the target of ads that Sanders denounced for their hostility toward Muslims.

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

His criticism placed the ads in a broader political context, arguing that such appeals distract from the concerns of working people rather than address them.
