President Trump criticized Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, stating he should have to pass through a metal detector to enter the Senate building, according to The Hill.
Trump argued that someone with El-Sayed's record of support for jihadists would be screened and barred from boarding an airplane, implying he should not be allowed a Senate seat.
The comments were made during a public statement on Sunday, highlighting Trump's concerns about El-Sayed's background and suitability for office.
No additional context or responses from El-Sayed or other political figures were included in the report.
