The chair of Michigan’s Democratic Party has issued a scathing statement against Congresswoman Haley Stevens.
The statement says she has “abandoned everything she claims to care about.”
And the party rejects attempts by Stevens “and bad-faith actors” to undermine their momentum.
ALT Statement card. Header: Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel. Quoted statement criticizing Mike Rogers as Trump’s hand-picked Senate candidate and supporting Abdul El-Sayed. It says Haley Stevens’ decision to campaign with Rogers shows she has abandoned everything she claims to care about, and that the party rejects attempts by Stevens and bad-faith actors to divide the party. Second paragraph: laser-focused on winning on Tuesday to lower costs, end corruption, check Trump administration chaos, and put Michigan first.

I spoke with Haley Stevens yesterday.
Feeling a bit absurd in pointing out the obvious and being far kinder than I should have been, I reminded her that the outcome of this senate race will be viewed in the light of a future Supreme Court vacancy, and I expressed a hope that all of us understand the stakes.
She assured me she's supporting Dr. El-Sayed, sent me a video of a recent speech she gave blasting Mike Rogers and said this: "Still stands. I promise."
She also said she's been sending this video to other folks to make it clear where she stands on this race.
Again: that was yesterday.
I have known Haley Stevens for years. I have counted her as a friend and an ally. We've had many thoughtful conversations about this country, and she has never failed to remind me that her mother is a fan of my writing.
Whatever other political differences we have, she has always made it clear to me she would stand with LGBTQ people. It was a red line she refused to cross.
Instead, she has made the inexplicable decision to endorse a man who views LGBTQ Americans as second-class citizens unworthy of full equality.
I can't help but wonder what her mother must be thinking right now.
I have no idea what has happened to the person I thought I knew, but clearly, she has completely taken leave of her senses in endorsing a Republican who is little more than a Trump sycophant -- less than 24 hours after promising me that she has not wavered from the bigger picture.
I am disgusted with her cynicism and cowardice in this moment. God forgive me for trusting her.
If you're a Michigan voter and as disgusted as I am, get to your polling place and vote for Dr. El-Sayed.

I compiled every reason Haley Stevens said Mike Rogers couldnt be in the Senate purely out of spite

I hope folks will think about the fact that @HaleyforMI demanded that @AbdulElSayed denounce as antisemitic an ad he was not associated with, but is now endorsing a man who called Abdul a terrorist. She is fine with bigotry and racism as long as its against the right people.

🤯So Haley Stevens endorses the Republican SHE called
- a carpetbagger millionaire
- a super-rich Florida man
- a fake
- who he answers to Trump
Mike Rogers is also a rabid racist who wants a nat’l abortion ban.
Michigan, ignore these frauds. Vote for @AbdulElSayed🇺🇸

Three months ago, Haley Stevens said Mike Rogers was a fraud, a rubber stamp for Donald Trump, and unfit to serve in the Senate.

Haley Stevens says she's endorsing Mike Rogers over Abdul because Michiganders are "not about hate." Meanwhile Rogers has run the most hate filled, anti-Muslim campaign ever. He has featured speakers who have smeared ALL Muslims as jihadists and a threat. She is endorsing that!

The reason we have two Dakotas is because Senate Republicans in the 1890s wanted four more Republican senators. Who cares
