Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed apologized Saturday for comments he made after an attack on a Detroit-area synagogue earlier this year. He appeared before the Michigan Democratic Jewish Caucus at the state party’s convention in Lansing. El-Sayed said, “I made a mistake.”
He said he should have issued a statement condemning the attack, adding that it “just should have been the full stop.” El-Sayed was referring to a March attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township in Michigan. Authorities said a man intentionally drove a truck into the synagogue and injured a security guard to deliberately target Jewish people, reports The Hill.
