Trump Doubles Down on Accusations Against Abdul El-Sayed
- President Trump accused Abdul El-Sayed of being a 'Muslim radical' and a 'Muslim Brotherhood member' during a recent rally, despite El-Sayed's denials and lack of evidence for the claims.
- Vice President JD Vance also criticized El-Sayed, calling him a 'weasel' and questioning his commitment to America, which El-Sayed rebutted with a defense of his American identity.
- El-Sayed described the current campaign as potentially 'one of the ugliest in modern history' due to the Islamophobic rhetoric and personal attacks he has faced.
