Mike Rogers Warns Ben Shapiro: El-Sayed’s Hate Movement Would Come For Christians Next

“When they’re done with the Jews,” Mike Rogers warned, Christians will be next.

Speaking on “The Ben Shapiro Show” a day before the midterm election and a day after Haley Stevens’ surprise endorsement, the Republican Senate hopeful accused Democratic opponent Abdul El-Sayed of demonizing Michigan’s Jewish community.

“As I keep telling my Christian friends, guess what? Guess who’s next, right?” Rogers said. “They’re going to come get you, because that government doesn’t like the competition of people who pray to someone else.”

Rogers called the Senate race a fight over “the heart and soul of America,” arguing that El-Sayed would spend his time in Washington pulling Democrats further left.

“He will be the leader of this democrat socialist movement. That has, you know, a special sauce of Muslim Brotherhood sprinkled through. That’s who he is.”

“And they’re looking at him to help move the Democrat Party further to the left, to to a place where I think common sense working Democrats, they’re not going to recognize their party here very long,” he said.

Rep. Haley Stevens has already refused to go along, breaking ranks to endorse Rogers after clashing with El-Sayed over an ad she wanted him to condemn.

“Well, first of all, let me just say about Haley that this was a courageous act. There was no backroom dealings. There was none of that,” Rogers said.

He says Stevens was still willing to show up at a church service with El-Sayed and help him win. All she wanted in return? For El-Sayed to call out an ad that blamed Jews for how much bananas cost, which was made by antisemite Hasan Piker’s uncle.

Piker, the far-left streamer who campaigned with El-Sayed, has said “America deserved 9/11” and compared Israel to “Jewish ISIS.” He also blamed pro-Israel Jews for making antisemitism worse, warning that someone would eventually take action against American Jews.

But El-Sayed wouldn’t blast the ad.

“He basically tossed her out, said, you’re no longer welcome. Get out. That’s what really sent her off,” he said.

Rogers recalled Stevens being booed at a Democratic convention over her support for Israel and Michigan Jews. Now, he said, her own party was attacking her for drawing a line on antisemitism.

“It was all about pushing back on anti-Semitism. And the party is now chastising her,” he said. “The party is veering off into this dark and dangerous place where they’re going to provide acceptance to this.”

He questioned why Democrats were so angry with Stevens when other people in their party had raised concerns about El-Sayed, too.

“Don’t let them bring this hate here,” Rogers recalled them saying.

“I mean, these are people who know him. You know how many people need to come out as Democrats and say, this guy is not right?”

“Maybe that guy is too extreme. If Cory Booker from New Jersey, the senator Democrat, says that he’s a fringe candidate. If Van Jones said his policies are insane, if the former chairman of the Democrat Party came out and said, I can’t vote for this guy, he’s too extreme, maybe the Democrat Party ought to have a little introspection here,” Rogers said.

Shapiro asked about polls showing Rogers behind. Rogers specifically disputed a New York Times poll and said his campaign was doing better with black voters in Detroit, Pontiac and Flint.

“And number two, we’re doing better than we have ever done with African Americans in the city of Detroit, Pontiac and Flint,” he said.

He accused El-Sayed of taking black voters for granted, citing conversations with pastors, business owners and neighborhood leaders. His campaign expects the Democrat to lose some of the support the party usually counts on, leaving him scrambling to make up those votes elsewhere.

Rogers also described meeting Chaldean Christians who had fled persecution in Iraq. Some hugged him and his wife and cried, pleading with them not to let the hatred they escaped follow them here, he said.

He acknowledged those conversations were anecdotal. But he said he was hearing concerns in other Arab communities as well, and rejected the idea that Muslim voters would automatically back his opponent.

“Some people think that all the Muslims, 100% are voting for this guy. They’re not. They don’t want this here either,” Rogers said.

“I think people are going to be surprised what this vote looks like tomorrow.”
