Mike Rogers unleashes 9/11 spot with Flight 93 hero Todd Beamer’s father as Michigan race heats up

Republican Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers is lacing into his foe Dr. Abdul El-Sayed by highlighting a video from David Beamer, the father of Flight 93 hero Todd Beamer — as the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks fast approaches.

The elder Beamer, a Michigander who endorsed Rogers this week, took aim at El-Sayed’s association with notorious far-left streamer Hasan Piker, who said in 2019 that “America deserved 9/11.” El-Sayed repeatedly stumped with Piker, though he did disavow that comment.

“A citizen, I guess, has a free will and a right to say that,” David Beamer chided in the new digital ad for Rogers. “An American would not.”

The spot comes as El-Sayed has come under scrutiny over his own prior remarks about 9/11, in which he blasted America for the deaths that came from the War on Terror.

In several since-deleted social media posts, El-Sayed made references to the attacks, comparing COVID-19 fatalities to 9/11 death tolls. He also noted the resulting anti-Muslim sentiment that came following the crashes.

While El-Sayed has pushed back on these tweets, emphasizing that he thinks 9/11 was a terrible disaster, Rogers’ spot doubles down on the idea that an “American wouldn’t say that.”

“Todd Beamer was an American hero who courageously stood up and faced down evil,” Rogers told The Post. “Todd’s selfless actions saved countless lives.”

“Todd Beamer was an American hero who courageously stood up and faced down evil,” Rogers told The Post. “Todd’s selfless actions saved countless lives.

If Flight 93 was targeting the US Capitol then Todd Beamer and his comPATRIOTS saved the lives of our Congress, including my (then) Congressman Todd Platts (R-PA 19 before census and redistricting) who was the "last man standing" in refusing to accept PAC money.

Good radio ad has two women saying they could vote for a Democrat but this time this el-Sayed one is too extreme and too scary.

el-Sayed photo....

He has given the lame and advisor approved excuse that putting down the victims of 9/11 (and the victims in Israel of the October massacres and kidnappings) in his past social media was “to put it all in context”.

I guess like serial rapists being allowed to live on your street if the context is the other people are law abiding, or the rapists often are just doing mundane things all day not raping at that time.

His “context” for Israel is the hurt people (Arabs) are victims of “genocide” and just had to hurt Jews in return.
But there is no genocide if Israel allows Arabs to serve in the ruling Knesset since 1949, allows Arabs to buy houses and land and start their own businesses and go to college within Israel. Try seeing if Jewish people can do that in Syria, Iraq or Iran. No dice.

After 9/11 the US supported Al Qaeda followers waging wars in Libya and Syria endorsed by Lindsey Graham, John McCain Mike Rogers record is of being on their side in that war.

Talk about El-Sayed and terrorists all you want but Rogers put himself on the side of the terrorists opposing the former Syrian government.

Beamer was a great American.

His leadership & bravery to go after those murderous lowlifes still gives me chills.

Can you believe they promised to withhold sex for the four years of Trump? I also refused to date Sydney Sweeney for those same four years.

Im sure we have all been successful for the same reason.
