Hillary Scholten said Abdul El-Sayed made “deeply sexist attacks” on female Democrats, citing remarks about Haley Stevens and past criticism of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan’s Senate primary.
On CNN, Scholten pointed to El-Sayed’s line that Stevens could not “string together two coherent sentences” and said his attacks targeted women’s intelligence and character rather than policy.
El-Sayed’s camp rejected the charge as an “unfounded narrative,” while El-Sayed had already urged supporters on Friday to stop personal attacks on Stevens and later said mocking how someone talks is not kind.
Scholten also faulted El-Sayed for campaigning with Hasan Piker, saying she could not support rhetoric tied to “America deserved 9/11” and warning Democrats against embracing candidates she says damage the party.
