Mike Rogers Pretty Much Mopped the Floor With Abdul El-Sayed in a Debate Tonight – Watch Some Highlights * The Gateway Pundit * by Mike LaChance

Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, the two candidates running for U.S. Senate in Michigan, had a debate tonight.

Let’s just say it was a good night for the Rogers campaign. He did very well and you can watch some highlights below.

In this clip, El-Sayed hits Rogers for having a home in Florida. Rogers reminds the audience that El-Sayed has a home in the United Arab Emirates, then says, ‘at least Florida is in the United States.’

Abdul owns homes in Dubai and Pakistan, Mike owns homes in America.

Here, Abdul El-Sayed is asked which country is a greater threat to the United States, Israel or Iran. It’s such an easy question and yet he refuses to answer.

🚨 WTF?! Abdul El Sayed just refused to say Iran is a bigger threat to America than Israel

IRAN K*LLED AMERICANS AND WANTS TO BOMB US.

He thinks they aren’t all that bad 😠

Q: Who’s a bigger threat to the US, Israel or Iran?

ABDUL: “That’s a ridiculous hypothetical.”

In this clip, Rogers mentions the fact that El-Sayed’s mother worked for a group with ties to Al-Qaeda. Just brutal.

Finally, we’ll leave you with this video of a woman who claims to be a lifelong Democrat who is voting Republican for the first time, for Mike Rogers.

El-Sayed’s far left act served him pretty well in the Democrat primary.

It does not seem to be working in the general.
