El-Sayed faces GOP flak for synagogue attack comments

From the creator

In Michigan, Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed apologized this weekend for comments that he made after a synagogue attack outside Detroit in March. The attack was carried out by a Lebanese man whose family had been killed in an Israeli strike. El-Sayed condemned the attack and then said, "Hurt people hurt people." El-Sayed has since met with Jewish Democratic leaders and said that he made a mistake. He continues to face criticism from the president and the GOP.
