On CNN's State of the Union, Mike Rogers kept saying Abdul El-Sayed 'didn't disavow' the Muslim Brotherhood after Dana Bash played video of El-Sayed doing exactly that — and wouldn't say whether he wished Trump hadn't called El-Sayed a 'jihadist.'
As Mike Rogers runs for Senate in Michigan, UAW members say that when they came to lobby him in Congress they were met by staffers outside his door. A 2003 letter from his own archive complains about them — and in 2007 he publicly opposed their strike against GM.
Kristi Rogers walked a Detroit gas station lot handing out $10 gift cards while Michigan gas sat at $4.59 a gallon. Her husband called the Iran war behind those prices a 'win-win-win.' His campaign hasn't said who paid for the cards.
Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers became chair of the House Intelligence Committee in January 2011. In July 2011, the private military firm his wife helped run won a $1 billion-plus contract to guard the U.S. embassy in Kabul. Before the marriage, his disclosures showed almost no wealth. Today the couple is worth millions.
Campaigning for Mike Rogers in Michigan, Sen. John Kennedy said AIPAC wouldn't be spending in the race if Abdul El-Sayed 'didn't sleep in a Bin Laden jersey.' Rogers laughed.
Barstool's Dave Portnoy wrote that Abdul El-Sayed 'really is a terrorist.' Mike Rogers reposted it and said Portnoy was 'exactly right,' and the Senate Republicans' campaign arm shared it again. It was the latest in a string of attacks tying a Muslim American doctor to terrorism.
States Newsroom asked Senate candidates in nine close races what they'd do about the automatic Social Security cut coming in 2032.

Ken Paxton, Mike Rogers and Ashley Hinson offered promises with no plan — weeks after Paxton was recorded telling lobbyists 'we have to suck it up' on spending cuts.
For more than a year, Mike Rogers defended Trump's tariffs, called the critics 'fear mongering' and joked about voters complaining that 'coffee went up.' Now, with absentee ballots already being cast, he's in a bar with a Canadian beer saying 'Canada is not our enemy.'
In a Senate ad shot with Windsor behind him, Mike Rogers says he'll make sure Michiganders don't pay more for prescriptions than Canadians. Bridge Michigan's fact-check found that as a congressman he voted at least four times against bills, motions or amendments to let cheaper drugs be reimported from Canada.
