Fetterman 'dares' El-Sayed to stick with Piker, claims Michigan Senate nominee has 'little man syndrome energy

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., warned Friday that Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed could cost his party a must-hold Michigan Senate seat, escalating a personal feud over El-Sayeds campaign style, opposition to military aid for Israel and alliance with far-left streamer .

"He has put, you know, that seat in play," Fetterman said during an interview with The Washington Post. "And after and others created the disaster in Maine, and they pushed garbage person like Platner, and now theyve pushed an individual like El-Sayed thats been very proud of his very deeply anti-Israel views and proud to campaign with an avowed communist overall."

The Michigan contest is one of roughly a dozen races expected to determine control of the Senate.

El-Sayed defeated establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich. poured into the primary, the most expensive Democratic Senate nomination contest in history.

El-Sayed will face former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers for retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters' seat.

EL-SAYED PALS AROUND WITH FAR-LEFT STREAMER HASAN PIKER THE DAY BEFORE CRUCIAL MICHIGAN SENATE ELECTION

Piker had made with El-Sayed, including at a Detroit pool party the night before the primary. The streamer has previously said America "deserved 9/11" and praised Mao Zedong as "one of the great leaders of this world."

El-Sayed has said he does not share all of Pikers positions but resisted calls to distance himself.

The Republican National Committee seized on El-Sayeds ties to Piker, accusing Democrats of failing to confront the nominees political associations.

"El-Sayed is a terrorist sympathizer and an America-hating socialist. His refusal to distance himself from Hamas-hugging radicals like Hasan Piker reaffirms his true allegiance is to terrorist groups, not America," RNC National Spokesperson Natalie Baldassarre told Fox News Digital on Sunday.

She continued, "Democrats' refusal to disavow this clown shows they either share his poisonous ideology or they're too cowardly to confront it."

Fetterman challenged El-Sayed to maintain that relationship as he moved beyond the Democratic primary electorate.

"I dare you to continue to campaign with people like Hasan Piker because he now will quickly find out its easy to campaign in the echo chamber as a Democrat," Fetterman said.

Fetterman's warning broke with Peters, who backed Stevens but who told Fox News Digital that El-Sayed would defeat Rogers because of the candidates' differences on issues affecting families.

"And in the end, thats why he will prevail," Peters said.

The dispute turned personal after Washington Post host Kate Andrews played a clip of El-Sayed criticizing Fettermans approach to Midwestern politics and temperament.
