Mike Rogers is going to win big in November, the first time in 30 years that Michigan has elected a Republican will be this November. And Republicans have never felt better about keeping the Senate majority. There's no evidence to support [the] claims [that Dr. El Sayed is a terrorist or wants sharia law]. Do you believe those attacks go too far, Senator? Well, let me ask you, you describe Dr. El Sayed as extreme. Your Sen. Colleague Tommy Tuberville has called him a terrorist. (22:48–22:49)

CLAIM
