El-Sayed's 9/11 Ties Spark Debate | Portland Maine News

Abdul El-Sayed’s 9/11 statement has ignited a firestorm after his past ties to Hasan Piker resurfaced, with critics accusing him of aligning with someone who allegedly said America deserved the attacks. El-Sayed hasn’t distanced himself, even referencing California streamers during his Michigan campaign — fueling backlash and ads targeting his record. His opponent Mike Rogers is seizing the moment, sharing clips and calling out El-Sayed’s perceived hypocrisy, while El-Sayed’s team fires back, defending his anti-terrorism stance and highlighting Rogers’ own controversial vote against 9/11 benefits in 2010.
