Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, apologized on August 29 for comments made in March regarding an armed attack on a Detroit-area synagogue, according to ZeroHedge. Primera Hora reports that El-Sayed apologized to the Michigan Jewish Democratic Caucus on Saturday for the same comments.

Forbes reports that El-Sayed said in an interview with Charlamagne tha God that he has not condemned Twitch streamer Hasan Piker because he opposes 'cancel culture,' and argued that the effort to 'character assassinate' Piker suggests a disconnect between Piker's statements and how they are perceived.
