9/11 Commemoration Invites Scrutiny of El-Sayed

“As the nation prepares to mark 25 years since Sept. 11, 2001, Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, may be facing the risk of renewed scrutiny and fresh political attack,” CBS News reports.

“El-Sayed is a leader of a new crop of candidates from a wing of his party that opposed American wars and capitalized on anger over anti-Arab sentiment in a state with a robust and active Muslim community. But now he is now attempting to adapt – and in some cases delete – past statements that may run afoul of a broad, general election audience.”
