DID Press: Abdulrahman Mohammed Al-Sayed, a Democratic candidate for the US Senate from Michigan, has responded sarcastically to US President Donald Trump’s mockery of his name and accusations against him.
Speaking to supporters, Al-Sayed addressed Trump and said he could call him “Senator Mohammed” after the election.
Campaigning in the United States has once again been marked by verbal clashes and personal attacks between political rivals. Trump, who has portrayed the Republican Party’s position in the upcoming midterm elections as being under pressure, has used various tactics, including mockery and accusations against his opponents, particularly Al-Sayed, a Muslim Senate candidate from Michigan.
At a campaign rally in Michigan, Trump called Abdulrahman Mohammed Al-Sayed a “jihadist” and “aligned with terrorists.” He also claimed that Al-Sayed should have to pass through a metal detector to enter the Senate.
