Michigan Senate hopeful calls AIPAC donations 'legalized bribery,' remains silent on other donations

Abdul El-Sayed, a U.S. Senate candidate in Michigan, criticized AIPAC donations as 'legalized bribery' in a post to X, while his campaign did not address similar scrutiny of other groups like PAL PAC and Arab American PAC. El-Sayed's comments come ahead of a primary against Rep. Haley Stevens, a pro-Israel candidate, with both candidates debating the U.S.-Israel alliance and foreign policy influence. El-Sayed's financial disclosures include assets totaling between $580,000 and $1.7 million, with his wife reporting real estate holdings in India.
