Abdul El-Sayed, the Michigan state Senate candidate with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, has refused to condemn an anti-Israel video that links America’s high cost of living to U.S. security aid to Israel.
Abdul El-Sayed tells a group of Muslims at a Mosque to get their families to go vote for him and then hands the microphone to a translator because they apparently don’t speak English: https://t.co/y1d9ev5XkF

After El-Sayed refused to denounce the video, Haley Stevens—the Democratic candidate who lost to him in the primary—announced she is shifting her support to Republican candidate Steve Rogers.
Stevens’ endorsement switch could signal a broader shift of Jewish voters—who have traditionally backed Democrats—toward Republicans. The question now: Will the growing rift between Jewish voters and the Democratic Party show up at the ballot box? And are American pollsters, like their Israeli counterparts, missing the story?
