Trump offered protection to the Democratic congresswoman who broke with her party and endorsed Mike Rogers in Michigan

This Sunday at a campaign rally in Iowa, President Donald Trump applauded the brave decision of Representative Haley Stevens to break with the Democratic Party and support Mike Rogers, the Republican candidate for the Senate from the state of Michigan.

In turn, Trump mocked Abdul El-Sayed, the extreme left Muslim candidate fighting for this seat, and denounced his alleged family ties to the Islamist organization Muslim Brotherhood.

"I call him Mohammed, not Abdul. You know what? I called him Mohammed and I did it for certain reasons. First of all, he said, ‘Why do you call me that?’. Because I’m the president, Abdul, and I have the right to call you whatever I want! I have the right to call you whatever I want, and we don’t want people who are going to destroy our country", Trump stated.

The president also questioned El-Sayed for campaigning in radical mosques in Michigan that teach hatred towards the U.S. and Jews. "Just yesterday it was revealed that El-Sayed qualified for the ballot by campaigning and gathering signatures in radical mosques that called the U.S. the house of Satan and demanded the ‘final annihilation of the Jews, of all Jews’. Now he comes out saying: ‘Oh no, I think Jews are wonderful’", the head of state indicated.

"Now he says: ‘Oh no, I think Jews are wonderful’. By the way, he is worse with blacks than with Jews, okay? It’s worse. If you are black, if you are African American... or if you are Jewish and vote for this lunatic, for this jihadist lunatic who wants to destroy you, you are crazy. You are crazy", Trump labeled.

In his speech, Trump highlighted Stevens' attitude and her decision to cross the aisle to support Republican Mike Rogers. "She came out publicly and endorsed Mike Rogers, and Mike Rogers is doing well. He represents tradition. Mike Rogers is tradition itself, and you know what this country needs? A little bit of that tradition", he affirmed.

“And the level of respect from the people of Michigan, especially from the African American and Jewish population... I think they are very, very happy with what she did. It was very brave of her to do so. I don’t know Haley. I’ve never dealt with her, but Haley said what very few people dare to say", the president added.

"In fact, I would love for her to join the Republican Party. I think that might happen. But she showed enormous and almost unprecedented loyalty to the great people of Michigan, and that is another very important election for us. We don’t want a jihadist", the right-wing leader shot.

This comes as Stevens faces rejection from her leaders and colleagues, who threaten to expel her from the Democratic Party. In fact, she and her family have been threatened with death by leftist militants furious with this decision.
