Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed used an appearance on Fox 2 after Tuesday night’s debate to criticize Republican former Rep. Mike Rogers for staying away. El-Sayed said his opponent refused to take part in the Detroit event.
Speaking on the local station, El-Sayed said, “The elephant was not in the room. The elephant decided that they did not want to be in the room. The elephant cowarded out. Although, the elephants were all in the room in Dallas.” The remark referred to Rogers speaking at a recent GOP midterm convention in Texas.
