A video shared by Drop Site News’s Julian Andreone captured Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana speaking alongside Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers. Kennedy told the group, “Look, AIPAC wouldn’t be, they wouldn’t come here, if Dr. El-Sayed didn’t sleep in a bin Laden jersey.” He followed with, “I’m just telling you,” while Rogers laughed beside him.
Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for the same seat, later addressed the remark on social media. He wrote on X, “That’s rich coming from someone who wears his bed sheets out at night.” Andreone had noted in his post that El-Sayed has never said anything in support of Osama Bin Laden and that he is just Muslim. AIPAC stands for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, described as a powerful pro-Israel lobbying group.
