Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is facing criticism from within his own party after using controversial rhetoric to describe how his victory could influence the progressive movement. In a leaked comment, El-Sayed said, 'You put one ogre on a pike, and then everyone else gets the message.' Several Democrats, including Neera Tanden and Melissa Byrne, slammed his remarks as inappropriate and sexist, with some interpreting it as a reference to his primary opponent, Rep. Haley Stevens. El-Sayed's campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
