华盛顿电——联邦参议员伯尼·桑德斯强烈谴责密歇根州参议院选举中共和党人发表的部分言论，共和党人正对民主党候选人阿卜杜勒·赛义德的族裔与宗教身份发起密集攻击。
“这种种族主义，赤裸裸、彻头彻尾的种族主义，坦白说令人作呕，应当让每一位有良知的美国人感到愤慨，”桑德斯在《玛格丽特·布伦南面对面》节目中说道。
曾公开支持赛义德竞选的桑德斯，特别提及了共和党外围人士发表的言论，包括特朗普总统和得克萨斯州联邦参议员特德·克鲁兹。共和党人称赛义德是“穆斯林兄弟会的支持者”，并暗示若将他选入国会，甚至可能对美国人构成致命威胁。若当选，赛义德将成为首位穆斯林参议员，他否认自己与穆斯林兄弟会有任何关联，并对这些言论予以谴责。今年早些时候，特朗普政府已将穆斯林兄弟会的部分分支列为恐怖组织。
桑德斯表示：“克鲁兹、特朗普、万斯以及其他人所说的话令人作呕。”
“事实上，阿卜杜勒正在开展一场非凡的竞选活动，我认为密歇根州将迎来一场属于他的大胜，”桑德斯说，“人们会抵制这种丑恶行径。”
这位佛蒙特州独立派议员还谴责了密歇根州参议院选举中的广告攻势，他说：“我这辈子从未见过像密歇根州目前出现的这般令人作呕、充满种族歧视与恐惧煽动的广告。”
“他们称阿卜杜勒·赛义德——一名医学博士——为恐怖分子、圣战分子，说一些极其恶心的话，”桑德斯说，“任何支持这些可怕广告的共和党人都是耻辱。”
桑德斯还谈及赛义德与其前党内初选对手众议员海利·史蒂文斯之间的分歧：史蒂文斯上周要求赛义德谴责某独立团体发布的一则广告，该广告将美国对以色列的军事援助与不断上涨的食品价格挂钩，史蒂文斯称这则广告带有反犹太主义色彩。赛义德指责她“重提三个月前已结束的初选恩怨”。周六，他重申这则广告“并非由我制作”，并补充称自己不认同其内容。
桑德斯表示：“海利·史蒂文斯输掉了一场胜负极近的初选，我能理解她为此感到沮丧。”但他强调，在这个至关重要的中期选举周期中，密歇根州民众会看清大局。
“所以密歇根州人民明白，‘当然，我们在这个和那个问题上与阿卜杜勒存在分歧’，”他说，“但据我所见，全州各地的民众都在挺身而出，他们会支持阿卜杜勒，对抗那位不过是特朗普政府橡皮图章的人——也就是迈克·罗杰斯。”
桑德斯现身节目后不久，史蒂文斯公开支持罗杰斯，称“我不会加入阿卜杜勒的竞选”，并补充说她认为此次选举的本质是“我们密歇根人是谁，不是仇恨，也不是我们从现任民主党提名人身上所看到的样子”。
周日，赛义德没有直接提及史蒂文斯的名字，而是表示“这是一个拥有1000万人口的州，民众理应从政府那里得到更好的待遇。我更关注的是其余999.9998万人，而非那些喋喋不休的少数人”。
在《面对面》节目中，桑德斯援引自己家族的历史，阐释了他对部分密歇根州犹太人对赛义德批评以色列的感受所持的观点。
“我是犹太人，我的父系家族被希特勒赶尽杀绝。反犹太主义是一种极其恶心、危险的意识形态，上个世纪已有数百万人因此丧命。我们绝不能容忍反犹太主义，”桑德斯说。
但桑德斯指出：“批评以色列的种族主义、极端主义政府，并主张美国纳税人不应花一分钱支持该政府，这并非反犹太主义。”
“这是在攻击一个右翼政府，对世界上其他任何政府我也会如此表态，”桑德斯说，“这不代表该国人民的宗教性质，所以我拒绝接受（那种将批评以色列与反犹太主义划等号的说法）。”
Sen. Bernie Sanders says GOP rhetoric about Abdul El-Sayed “should appall every decent American”
November 1, 2026 / 5:19 PM EST / CBS News
Washington — Sen. Bernie Sanders decried some of the rhetoric from Republicans in the Michigan Senate race, as the GOP has leaned in heavily on attacks on Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s ethnicity and religion.
“That level of racism, overt absolute racism, is frankly disgusting and should appall every decent American,” Sanders said on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.”.
Sanders, who’s supported El-Sayed’s campaign, specifically referred to comments made by Republican surrogates, including President Trump and GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. Republicans have called El-Sayed a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, and implied that electing him could even be deadly to Americans. El-Sayed, who would be the first Muslim senator, has denied any connection to the Muslim Brotherhood and condemned the comments. The Trump administration earlier this year designated certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist groups.
Sanders said, “What Cruz and Trump and Vance and others are saying is disgusting.”
“The fact of the matter is that Abdul is running an extraordinary campaign, and I think what you’re going to see is a good victory in Michigan for him,” Sanders said. “People will rebel against that type of ugliness.”
The Vermont independent also condemned advertisements in the Michigan Senate race, saying, “I have never in my life seen such disgusting, racist, fearmongering ads as those that are taking place in Michigan right now.”
“They are calling Abdul El Sayed — who’s a medical doctor — they’re calling him a terrorist, a jihadist, really disgusting things,” Sanders said. “And the fact that any Republican would stand behind those horrible ads is a disgrace.”
Sanders also weighed in on the rift between El-Sayed and his former primary opponent, Rep. Haley Stevens, who called on El-Sayed last week to condemn an outside group’s ad linking U.S. military aid to Israel to rising grocery prices, which she characterized as antisemitic. El-Sayed accused her of “relitigating a primary that ended three months ago.” And on Saturday, he reiterated that the ad “was not made by me,” adding that he disagrees with its contents.
Sanders said, “Haley Stevens lost a very, very close primary. I can understand being upset about that.” But he stressed that during a midterm cycle of paramount importance, Michiganders will see the bigger picture.
“So the people in Michigan understand, ‘Sure, we have disagreements with Abdul on this and that issue,’” he said. “But from what I can see, all over the state, people are standing up. They’re going to stand with Abdul, take on somebody who will be nothing more than a rubber stamp for the Trump administration. That’s Mike Rogers.”
Shortly after Sanders’ appearance, Stevens publicly endorsed Rogers, saying “I don’t belong in Abdul’s campaign,” adding that she sees what is on the ballot is “who we are as Michiganders is not hate and is not what we are getting out from our Democratic nominee right now.”
El-Sayed on Sunday did not reference Stevens by name but instead said “this is a state of 10 million people who deserve a lot better from their government. I’m a lot more focused on the 9,999,998 that are not the ones who are talking about.”
On “Face the Nation,” Sanders referenced his own family’s history to illustrate his view on how some Jewish Michiganders feel about El-Sayed’s criticism of Israel.
“I am Jewish. My father’s family was wiped out by Hitler. Anti-Semitism is an extraordinarily disgusting and dangerous ideology that has killed millions and millions of lives in the last century. We cannot tolerate anti-Semitism, period,” Sanders said.
But Sanders argued that, “To be critical of a racist, extremist government in Israel, and to say that American taxpayers should not spend a nickel supporting that government is not anti-Semitism.”
“It is attacking a right-wing government, and I would say the same about any other government on earth,” Sanders said. “Does not reflect the nature of the religion of the people who are in that country. So I reject that.”
