Rogers warns Michigan voters against El-Sayeds extreme agenda ahead of election
Republican Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers took aim at Democratic opponent during a town hall with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday, warning voters that his rival's policies would hurt the state.
Rogers accused El-Sayed of having a "pattern of deception" and called him a "manufactured candidate," claiming the Democrat has misrepresented his political positions.
"He is the most . He has called for defunding the police. He has called for letting criminals out of prison," Rogers said.
"He has called for the Green New Deal, which is a killer."
Rogers also touted his campaign's ground operation, saying volunteers are approaching 6 million doors knocked across Michigan.
"That's the energy, and what we're getting off of those doors is, 'Yes, we're voting,' 'No, we're not going to be a DSA state,' 'No, we're not going to let this happen on our watch.'"
The Republican also said his campaign is seeing support from voters who traditionally back Democrats.
Rogers later took questions , including a Jewish woman who said she sometimes feels afraid to show her Jewish identity in public.
Rogers said he had heard similar stories from Jewish students at the University of Michigan who said they concealed religious symbols because they were being harassed.
Rogers also pointed to housing, skilled trades, saying he wants to make it easier for young adults to buy homes and bring more defense industry work to the state.
He also called for putting shop classes back in Michigan high schools, arguing that expanding skilled-trade education would give students more paths to well-paying careers.
Rogers closed by again targeting El-Sayed's policies, arguing Michigan "cannot afford" them.
"We certainly can't risk his ideology," he said.
El-Sayed's campaign could not immediately be reached by Fox News Digital for comment.
