El-Sayed apologizes to Jewish Democrats for synagogue attack comment
–
Neutral summary
Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, apologized to the state's Jewish Democratic Caucus for comments he made in March following an attack on Temple Israel in Bloomfield. “I made a mistake,” he said at the caucus meeting during the state party convention, adding that he was sorry to anyone who found his words offensive. El-Sayed had said “hurt people hurt people,” which was seen as a reference to the assailant's family in Lebanon, reportedly killed by the IDF. Sen. James Clyburn voiced support for El-Sayed, saying “all of us deserve second chances.”
