Ted Cruz escalates Muslim Brotherhood attacks on Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed

Cruz called El-Sayed a “jihadist leprechaun” at a campaign event near Detroit and claimed his election could pose a security risk.
The allegations cite El-Sayed’s relatives’ past activism and his support for Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi; El-Sayed says he should be judged by his own record.
Rogers and El-Sayed are competing in a race rated a toss-up by CBS News Battleground Tracker.
