Michigan Senate nominee El-Sayed apologizes for synagogue attack remarks

Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed apologized August 29 to Michigan's Jewish Democratic Caucus for March remarks linking a synagogue attack to Israeli military strikes. He had said "hurt people hurt people" after a man who lost relatives in an Israeli airstrike attacked a Detroit-area synagogue. "I made a mistake," he said. El-Sayed faces Republican Mike Rogers in a race that could decide Senate control.
