More than 400 Democratic Jewish Michiganders are backing Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers and warning that they feel "threatened and alienated" by leftist candidate Abdul El-Sayed and his political allies.
Prominent Democratic donor Rob Orley, a senior advisor for O2 Investments, is among the signatories. He previously donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic campaigns, according to FEC campaign filings — but now he and other prominent Jewish leaders are ditching El-Sayed for Republican candidate Mike Rogers.
"Many of us have been fiercely supportive of Democratic candidates and principles," a letter signed by Orley and hundreds of others stated.
"If El-Sayed were to win the general election in this important swing state, we fear the far-left and anti-Jewish elements in the Democratic Party would become dominant, including in the imminent 2028 presidential race," the letter continues. "We cannot allow him to become the Democratic standard-bearer or Michigan’s senator."
Fox News Digital reached out to O2 Investments for comment.
The letter includes signatures from some of the most prominent members of Michigan's Jewish community, including Robert Gordon, the former president of Temple Israel, the state's largest Jewish congregation, which was the site of an antisemitic attack in March.

I only watch FAUX for Gutfeld and Jesse
Neocons galore
I also watch for Timpf Costanya and that young Larsen girl
And Markey on Gutfeld is so funny
Bug eyes
This is it. With 60% of the youth vote supporting socialism and the rise of islam across western nations, we are at an inflection point in history.
If we lose this, it is at least a century of darkness across the world.
The Republican in that race acted as the spoiler.
Contrary to your post, Trump asked the Republican to drop out and asked people to vote for Cuemo, as he had the best shot at beating Mandami.
Any other lies you’d like to post?
So are Jews finally figuring out that the Democratic Party is no longer their friend?
Will Republican wake up to this fact and stop putting these Jewish Democrats and their home country first above their constituents?
Sayed is a typical antisemitic muslim.

antisemitic muslim? have you read your koran? its in their ‘religion’. killing jews is a commandment by their prophet and their ‘god’. No brainwashing needed.
Who were the Jewish leaders who underpinned Lenin? Kamenev, Zinoviev, Radek, and a dozen more that accompanied Lenin on the train from Europe to the Finland Station. Who is the predominant Jew who supports the Marxist move in the Democrat Party? Soros and son.
“I always wondered what it would take. Maybe now we are getting a clue.”
They’ll go back to the plantation, like they did in NYC, after supporting Giuliani after the Crown Heights riots under David Dinkins.
RE: Of all the people running for office right now El-sayed is the one I most want to lose.
Agree. It’s a tough choice but he is truly evil and deceitful.
Hopefully repenting for the evil promoted by supporting Dems now that they figured it out.

RE: 400 vs tens of thousands of muhadis, not much of an impact.
Yes, Jewish couples have had fewer children than the replacement rate since the 1970s. Arab women in Michigan surpass that by far and welcome thousands of immigrants each year. They can worship in the largest mosque in North America in Dearborn where signs and directions in the city offices are in Arabic with little English lettering below. Not true of Jewish immigration since the Soviet days when many fled to New York and Michigan. Levelled off.
After the October 7th Massacre and subsequent protests by the modern left, it was stated that Jews would have to reassess their relationship to that movement. In Israel many of those murdered by the palestinians were leftist sympathizers. My impression is that the left is pretty much finished in Israel.
If the modern left cannot reconstitute itself without their vicious bigoted racism, then Jews will move elsewhere.
How about the other 100,000?
It looks like the leaders have made a decision. The great majority of others will follow.
...what a stupid ass and infuriating statement! “Principles”?! These idiots need to list off these so called principles.
The left has had control over the main stream media and the universities for a long time. The ideological base has been under their thumb.
It would be better for others to contest this vigorously.
Very!
“These idiots need to list off these so called principles.”
AND list exactly they’ve done to implement said “principles” ...
Perhaps you're confusing him with Sakharov?
Yeah, that show is very funny.
Sakharov wasn’t Jewish either, though his wife was.
