I'm here to keep a jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member from becoming a United States Senator, and that's the fact. We're not going to let that happen. And nine days from now, the people of Michigan are going to defeat Abdul Mohammed Sayed. Anyone with that record of support for jihadists would be screened and unable to get a seat on an airplane they certainly should not give him a seat in the United States Senate. He would be the only senator that will have to go through a metal detector before he's allowed to go into the Senate. I want him to have a metal detector.
