Republican Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers took aim at Democratic opponent Abdul El-Sayed<\/a> during a town hall with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday, warning voters that his rival’s policies would hurt the state.<\/p>\n

Rogers accused El-Sayed of having a “pattern of deception” and called him a “manufactured candidate,” claiming the Democrat has misrepresented his political positions.<\/p>\n

“He is the most extreme candidate<\/a>. He has called for defunding the police. He has called for letting criminals out of prison,” Rogers said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He has called for the Green New Deal, which for Michigan<\/a> is a killer.”<\/p>\n

Rogers also touted his campaign’s ground operation, saying volunteers are approaching 6 million doors knocked across Michigan.<\/p>\n

“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.'”<\/p>\n

The Republican also said his campaign is seeing support from voters who traditionally back Democrats.<\/p>\n

Rogers later took questions from voters<\/a>, including a Jewish woman who said she sometimes feels afraid to show her Jewish identity in public.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Rogers also pointed to housing, education and<\/a> skilled trades, saying he wants to make it easier for young adults to buy homes and bring more defense industry work to the state.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Rogers closed by again targeting El-Sayed’s policies, arguing Michigan “cannot afford” them.<\/p>\n

“We certainly can’t risk his ideology,” he said.<\/p>\n

El-Sayed’s campaign could not immediately be reached by Fox News Digital for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
