El-Sayed aide likens GOP opponent's campaign to 'KKK cross burning' over video with Ford pickup

Rogers' campaign seized on the post, accusing Pressler of thinking that "driving a Michigan-made Ford truck is akin to the KKK."

El-Sayed's communications director, Roxie Richner, explained to Fox News Digital that Pressler's views are not representative of the campaign as a whole because Pressler's X bio explicitly states that his posts are his own opinions.

She did not return a follow-up request for further comment on the post from El-Sayed's campaign aide.

The Democratic candidate has been dogged for his particular brand of left-wing politics, even by some members of his own political party who believe he is too far left.

Fox News Digital previously reported that El-Sayed has received more than $100,000 in campaign cash from 41 people who work for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and formally designated or labeled as such in Florida and Texas.

El-Sayed's sister, Eman Abdelhadi, has also been revealed as a socialist University of Chicago professor who was arrested last year for allegedly spitting on a police officer during an anti-ICE protest outside the Broadview, Illinois immigrant detention facility.
