密歇根州民主党参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德周二面临约一小时的尖锐质询，内容涉及他与争议主播哈森·皮克尔的关联、对以色列的立场、竞选资金以及他的社会主义背景，此前其共和党对手迈克·罗杰斯拒绝参加周二晚间在底特律举行的原定辩论。
埃尔-赛义德对皮克尔的争议言论做出了迄今最明确的谴责之一，当被问及美国是否承认以色列是犹太国家时，他没有给出是或否的明确答复，并在与主持人的广泛对话中回击了有关他与美国民主社会主义者组织（DSA）关系的质疑。
罗杰斯当天早些时候拒绝了电视台的邀请，并未出席周二的活动，这使得埃尔-赛义德独自回答主持人鲁普·拉吉、观众和演播室现场观众的提问。
福克斯2台表示，两党竞选团队均于8月5日，即密歇根州初选次日收到邀请，埃尔-赛义德迅速接受，而罗杰斯直到周二辩论当天上午才正式拒绝，理由是反对拉吉担任主持人，称其存在偏见。

周二晚间，拉吉质问埃尔-赛义德能否“完全、百分百”否认皮克尔发表的冒犯性言论。就在两天前，埃尔-赛义德在做客CBS新闻《面向全国》节目时曾回避有关皮克尔的提问。
“当然可以，”埃尔-赛义德在回应拉吉关于否认皮克尔争议言论的提问时说道，随后专门谈到了这位主播最近针对美国犹太人的言论。
“当哈森针对美国犹太人和密歇根州犹太人发表这些言论时，我已经完全谴责了这些言论，”埃尔-赛义德说道。

当拉吉继续追问时，埃尔-赛义德进一步表态，称皮克尔说过很多他不同意的内容，并专门指出该主播针对9·11事件和美国犹太人的言论。不过，埃尔-赛义德为自己与皮克尔接触的决定辩护，称与某人交谈并不等于认可其所有观点，并表示他希望为皮克尔数百万的粉丝提供一条“回归我们政治的途径”。
与此同时，当被问及美国是否应继续承认以色列是犹太国家时，埃尔-赛义德没有给出是或否的明确答复，而是表示他相信“巴勒斯坦人和犹太以色列人都有权享有和平、尊严和自决的平等权利”。
“人们会问这个关于现存国家的生存权问题，但我从未被问及不存在的国家的生存权，”他继续说道。“我不会被问及现存国家是否有权使用我们的税款去做令人发指的事情。我不会被问及底特律的孩子们是否有权使用他们的税款，所以我认为这个问题的前提是试图让人们同意我们目前所见的既不稳定又充满暴力的现状。”

在另一个紧张时刻，埃尔-赛义德指责罗杰斯试图将竞选变成一场“围绕埃尔-赛义德族裔和穆斯林信仰的文化战争”。这一指责是在埃尔-赛义德回避是否会退还来自美国伊斯兰关系理事会（CAIR）相关人员的竞选捐款的直接答复时提出的。
福克斯新闻数字频道此前曾报道，埃尔-赛义德的竞选团队从至少41名曾在CAIR工作、此前在该机构任职或担任领导职务的个人那里获得了超过11.5万美元的捐款。CAIR长期以来因被指与哈马斯有关联而饱受争议，并在2007年圣地基金会恐怖主义融资案中被联邦检察官列为未被起诉的同谋。阿联酋已将CAIR列为恐怖组织，佛罗里达州和德克萨斯州也正式将其认定或标记为恐怖组织。CAIR对此予以否认。
密歇根州参议院候选人将AIPAC捐款称为“合法化贿赂”，对其他捐款保持沉默
埃尔-赛义德为该组织作为民权团体的身份辩护，并指责罗杰斯试图将选举“变成围绕我的肤色或宗教信仰的议题”。
这场交锋发生在埃尔-赛义德多次批评罗杰斯的竞选资金之前，他指责这位共和党人受企业摆布。埃尔-赛义德在活动中还就罗杰斯出席美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）筹款活动的问题向其发难，当时话题正涉及以色列。

“我相信美国是一个包容所有人的国家：迈克·罗杰斯、唐纳德·特朗普、JD·万斯，”埃尔-赛义德周二晚间说道。“他们认为有些人比其他人更美国。他们觉得如果你信仰的宗教不同，你的家族来自不同的地方，你的美国身份就会被打上星号。”
主持人拉吉随后跟进指出，“JD·万斯的孩子中有一位是印度裔美国人”，并补充道“第二夫人是来到这个国家的印度女性”。

当被问及与DSA的关系以及是否与该组织持有重大共同价值观时，埃尔-赛义德也在周二晚间进行了回击。
“我不是该组织的成员，”埃尔-赛义德回应道，随后为自己对资本主义的看法辩护，并称企业合并而非政府监管对自由市场构成更大威胁。
“我们生活的不是资本主义，而是社团主义，”他继续说道。“你不必是社会主义者才能相信人们应该获得医疗保健。你不必是社会主义者才能相信我们需要良好的道路。”

埃尔-赛义德多次拒绝社会主义标签，并称自己是资本主义者。DSA并未 endorse 他的参议院竞选活动，但知名民主社会主义者支持他，或与他的竞选活动有关联。CBS新闻上月报道称，埃尔-赛义德表示自己并非DSA成员，但认为该组织的支持者应被欢迎加入民主党联盟。
福克斯新闻数字频道此前曾报道，2017年至2020年间，埃尔-赛义德在DSA各分会举办的六场活动中发表了演讲，其中包括2019年一场他作为主旨发言人的筹款活动。社会主义组织者还将埃尔-赛义德称为“底特律DSA的长期朋友”，而埃尔-赛义德今年7月告诉《华尔街日报》，他“严格意义上和实际上都不属于DSA”。
两位候选人定于10月8日在大急流城的WOOD-TV电视台再次辩论，并于10月21日在底特律的WXYZ电视台举行另一场辩论，随后是11月的大选。

El-Sayed grilled on Piker, Israel and socialist ties after Mike Rogers skips Senate debate

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed faced roughly an hour of pointed questions Tuesday over his ties to controversial streamer Hasan Piker, his views on Israel, campaign money and his socialist ties after his Republican rival Mike Rogers declined to participate in a scheduled debate in Detroit Tuesday night.
El-Sayed offered one of his most explicit condemnations yet of Piker’s controversial rhetoric, declined to give a yes-or-no answer when pressed on U.S. recognition of Israel as a Jewish state and pushed back on questions about his relationship with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) during the wide-ranging conversation with the moderator.
Rogers did not attend Tuesday’s event after declining the station’s invitation earlier in the day, leaving El-Sayed to field questions from moderator Roop Raj, viewers and members of the studio audience.
FOX 2 said both campaigns were invited on Aug. 5, the day after Michigan’s primary, and that El-Sayed quickly accepted, while Rogers did not formally decline until the morning of the Tuesday debate due to objections over Raj serving as the moderator, arguing he was biased.

On Tuesday evening, Raj pressed El-Sayed on whether he could “completely, 100%” disavow offensive comments Piker had made. The question came just two days after El-Sayed resisted questioning about Piker during an appearance on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”
“Absolutely,” El-Sayed responded to Raj about disavowing Piker’s controversial comments, before specifically addressing the streamer’s recent remarks about Jewish Americans.
“When Hasan made these comments about Jewish Americans and Jewish Michiganders, I disavowed them entirely,” El-Sayed said.

El-Sayed went further Tuesday when Raj continued pressing him, saying there were “many, many things” Piker has said that he disagreed with and specifically pointing to the streamer’s comments about 9/11 and Jewish Americans. Still, El-Sayed defended his decision to engage with Piker, arguing that speaking with someone does not amount to endorsing all of that person’s views and saying he wanted to offer Piker’s millions of followers “a pathway back into our politics.”
Meanwhile, El-Sayed declined to give a yes-or-no answer when pressed on whether the United States should continue recognizing Israel as a Jewish state, instead saying he believes “in equal rights to peace, dignity and self-determination for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis alike.”
“People ask this question about the right of the state that actually exists to exist, but I never get asked about the right of the state that does not exist to exist,” he continued. “I don’t get asked about whether or not the state that exists has a right to use our tax dollars to do heinous things. I don’t get asked about whether or not the kids in Detroit have a right to their tax dollars, so I just think the premise of the question is built around trying to ask people to agree to the current status quo that we have seen become a deeply unstable, deeply violent equilibrium.”

At another tense point, El-Sayed accused Rogers of trying to turn the race into a “culture war” focused on El-Sayed’s ethnicity and Muslim faith. The accusation came as El-Sayed bypassed a direct answer on whether he would return campaign contributions from individuals affiliated with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
Fox News Digital previously reported that El-Sayed’s campaign received more than $115,000 from at least 41 individuals who worked for, previously worked for or held leadership roles with CAIR, which has faced longstanding controversy over alleged ties to Hamas and was named as an unindicted co-conspirator by federal prosecutors in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing case. CAIR has also been designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and formally designated or labeled as such in Florida and Texas.

El-Sayed defended the organization as a civil rights group and accused Rogers of trying to make the election “about the color of my skin or how I pray.”
The exchange came after El-Sayed repeatedly criticized Rogers over his own campaign funding, accusing the Republican of being beholden to corporations. El-Sayed also questioned Rogers earlier in the event over his attendance at American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) fundraisers while discussing Israel.

“I believe in an America that is big enough for all of us: Mike Rogers, Donald Trump, JD Vance,” El-Sayed said Tuesday night. “They believe that some people are more American than others. They think that if you pray a different way, your family comes from a different place, that somehow there’s an asterisk on your American identity.”
Raj, the moderator, followed up, noting that, “JD Vance is the father of the children to an Indian American,” and adding that the “second lady is an Indian woman who came to this country.”

El-Sayed also pushed back Tuesday night when he was questioned about his relationship with the DSA and whether he shares significant values with the group.
“I’m not a part of the organization,” El-Sayed responded before defending his view of capitalism and arguing that corporate consolidation, rather than government regulation, poses the greater threat to free markets.
“We don’t live in capitalism. We live in corporatism,” he continued. “You don’t have to be a socialist to believe that people deserve health care. You don’t have to be a socialist to believe that we need good roads.”

El-Sayed has repeatedly rejected the socialist label and described himself as a capitalist. The DSA did not endorse his Senate campaign, though prominent democratic socialists have supported, or have been affiliated with his candidacy. CBS News reported last month that El-Sayed said he was not part of DSA but believed the group’s supporters should be welcomed into the Democratic Party’s coalition.
Fox News Digital previously reported that El-Sayed spoke at six events held by DSA chapters between 2017 and 2020, including a 2019 fundraiser where he served as a keynote speaker. Socialist organizers have also described El-Sayed as a “longtime friend of Detroit DSA,” while El-Sayed told the Wall Street Journal in July that he was “not technically or practically DSA.”
The candidates are scheduled to meet Oct. 8 at WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids and again Oct. 21 at WXYZ in Detroit ahead of the November general election.
