Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is not a favorite of President Donald Trump’s. After the president made comparisons between them and their wives, El-Sayed hit back at Trump with a brutal response about his marriage to Melania.
Abdul El-Sayed won the Democratic primary for the US Senate. His victory has set up what is considered to be a fierce election battle against Republican Mike Rogers, a former US representative, in one of the country’s key swing states.
The race could be hugely important for Democrats, who are hoping to take back control of the Senate from Republicans. However, last week, El-Sayed’s campaign quickly took a personal turn.
During a speech on Thursday, Donald Trump attacked the Senate candidate, calling him a “communist” and saying he was “full of shit,” which received loud cheers from the crowd.
Speaking with Sky News, El-Sayed responded to the president’s choice of words, saying, “At least I don’t let mine go in the middle of the Oval Office,” El-Sayed told Sky News.
However, it didn’t end there. On Saturday, Trump posted a side-by-side photo of himself with Melania Trump and Abdul El-Sayed with his wife, Dr. Sarah Jukaku.
Abdul El-Sayed takes brutal swipe at Donald Trump’s marriage to Melania
“Two VERY DIFFERENT America’s,” the post by Trump read.
When asked about the post during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, El-Sayed didn’t hold back. In fact, he decided to give Donald Trump a brutal response – and commented on the president’s marriage to Melania.
“Yeah, he’s right,” El-Sayed told CNN when asked about the post on Sunday, adding that he and Donald Trump represent two different kinds of America.
“One in which your overlords are two people who don’t like each other, but join in the interest of making billions of dollars off of you – or two people who genuinely love each other, enjoyed some pancakes together, want to come together to build the kind of America where they can raise a family and know that that family is going to have the good things.”
“A bit of a rocky road”
He continued, “So, yes, you got two different visions of America. Donald Trump’s vision is the one you’re living in right now. Can you afford your gas? Can you afford your groceries? Do you believe, when you look your kids in the eye, that they’re going to have a better future than you did?”
The Michigan Senate candidate continued, telling host Jake Tapper, “Actually, Sarah and I like each other. I don’t know about the first lady and the president, but, from what I have heard, it’s a bit of a rocky road.”
