El-Sayed Dares Trump To Take Lie Detector Test Over Metal Detector Remark
Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has responded to President Donald Trump’s comment that he should go through metal detectors if elected, proposing that Trump take a lie detector test in return.
“I’ll go through a metal detector every day, you sit through a lie detector one time. That’s the deal,” he said.
Addressing supporters at a campaign event, El-Sayed said his first question for Trump would be about Epstein, and his second would be whether he won the 2020 election.
Trump, who has previously called El-Sayed a “jihadist,” suggested during a rally speech on Sunday that the Democrat would “have to go through a metal detector before he’s allowed to go into the Senate” if elected.
El-Sayed fired back on Thursday:
“Here’s the deal, Donald, I’ll go through a metal detector if you’ll sit for a lie detector. Simple, I’ve got nothing to hide; you’ve got so much to hide.”
“My first question, Epstein. Second question, did you win the 2020 election. So that’s the deal, I’ll go through a metal detector every day if you sit through a lie detector one time,” he said.
The Senate hopeful was referring to Trump’s past friendship with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as well as his repeated lies about the results of the 2020 presidential election.
