At a rally in Rock Hill, South Carolina on Oct. 29, President Trump said: "If you’re Black or if you’re Jewish, and if you vote for Abdul, you’re crazy. You’re crazy. You’re crazy anyway."
The next day in Daytona Beach, Florida, he repeated the message, saying Black and Jewish voters who back Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed are "not smart," and calling El-Sayed a "jihadist."
El-Sayed, who would be the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate, is running against Republican Mike Rogers for Michigan’s open seat. Trump has also claimed El-Sayed has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, which El-Sayed has repeatedly denied.
Critics say the comments insult Black and Jewish Americans and stereotype Muslims. Supporters say Trump was making a political argument about El-Sayed’s past statements.
