Half-Sister of Michigan Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed Faces Charges Related to Past Arrest
Conservative outlets are amplifying a resurfaced video and an arrest tied to his half-sister as El-Sayed seeks Michigan’s Senate nomination.
- On Friday, conservative media reported on the arrest of Eman Abdelhadi, half-sister of Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, intensifying political attacks on his U.S. Senate campaign.
- Critics amplified a video from October 2024 where Abdelhadi delivered an 'October 7th blessing' at an event organized by Rabbis4Ceasefire, reflecting on her commitment to justice.
- Abdelhadi faced felony charges last fall after allegedly spitting on an Illinois state trooper during an anti-ICE protest, and media outlets cited past posts criticizing American holidays and describing her university as a 'colonial landlord.'
- A campaign spokeswoman said El-Sayed loves his sister but disagrees with her political positions, emphasizing that his platform and public service record matter to Michigan voters.
- President Donald Trump and other conservatives have targeted El-Sayed since his primary win, while he previously distanced himself from his past support for the 'defund the police' movement.
