Summary
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed's 2021 blog post, comparing Donald Trump's role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot to Osama bin Laden's role in the 9/11 attacks, has resurfaced. In the post, El-Sayed argued that Trump "recruited, radicalized and reassured" rioters and deserved accountability similar to the response after 9/11, prompting criticism and defense from his campaign.
