President Donald Trump praised Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers and criticized Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed during a press gaggle in Bullhead City, Arizona.

REPORTER: Are you concerned about Abdul El-Sayed's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Yeah, he's a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Abdul, or as I call him Mohamed, Mohammed El-Sayed (https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2026/10/10/trump_on_abdul_el-sayed_i_call_him_mohammed_im_the_president_i_can_call_him_whatever_the_hell_i_want.html).

He's a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. He said that years ago. He was a proud member, and you can't have a member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Congress being on one of our security committees, right? But he is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

And you have in Mike Rogers, such an amazing candidate. He's apple pie. He's all apple pie. And that's what our country needs. We don't need the Muslim Brotherhood as a senator.
