Abdul El-Sayed apologized to Michigan's Jewish Democratic Caucus for comments he made in March responding to an attack on a Michigan synagogue. "“My comments may have been misconstrued to justify something I did not mean to justify,”", ABC News said.
He continued to decline to disavow Hasan Piker, a figure tied to his campaign.
Republican opponent Mike Rogers criticized the apology as insufficient. "Rogers, however, said El-Sayed’s latest remarks did not amount to a genuine apology. “1When someone says you might have been offended by what I said, that’s not an apology,”", The Daily Wire said. "Republican opponent Mike Rogers torched the candidate’s sudden pivot, calling El-Sayed’s apology campaign the “1epitome of what a conman does.”", The Daily Wire said.
