Just 2 years ago, RFK (Robert Kennedy) was in Dearborn meeting with Arab-Americans, posing for selfies with them. Today, he’s making disparaging remarks about Arabs. Video I took of him in Dearborn a few days before Nov. election.

Replying to @Simon_Schuster
RFK: “There's 500 million Arabs in the world, and yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don’t produce literature.” Every aspect of that statement (save Fields) is absolutely false.

Detroit voter Nancy tells me she sees a generational divide among younger Black voters who are excited to vote for Abdul El-Sayed and older Black voters who are skeptical. She says the amount of older Black folks at today’s rally is encouraging.

Democratic nominee for Attorney General Eli Savit, who faces Republican Doug Lloyd Nov. 3, says the hype surrounding the U.S. Senate race has made it harder for other statewide candidates to get their message to voters. “It’s been tougher this cycle,” Savit says.

Asked the same question to Republican attorney general nominee Doug Lloyd. He says Republican voters are paying attention to his race because of their frustration toward Democratic AG Dana Nessel, who he says has politicized the office.

Rogers: “This isn’t about how you pray. This is about how you think, and if you think that you can't identify Iran as an adversary or enemy of the United States, you have no business being in the United States Senate.”
