(Credit: MikeRogersforMI via X – August 16) A recent campaign video released by Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers in Michigan left one of his opponent’s staffers feeling triggered. [snip] “Gotta love this American Ride! There’s no better way to do the Woodward Dream Cruise!” said a post from Rogers accompanying the video online. But one staffer for Abdul El-Sayed, the far-left socialist-adjacent Democrat running against Rogers, did not find the bit of Americana to his liking. “Mike Rogers’ campaign has the aesthetics of a 1960s white flight suburb and a KKK cross burning,” Mason Pressler, who serves as a El-Sayed’s political manager in the northern part of Michigan, said on X.

The far-left candidate also argued against the Second Amendment in videos discovered among the 100 he hid from public view from his YouTube channel. In an unearthed essay, he drew a parallel between President Donald Trump and Osama Bin Laden.
