Father of 9/11 hero Todd Beamer narrates campaign ad targeting Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed over ties to Hasan Piker.

David Beamer, father of Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer, narrated a campaign ad supporting Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers and attacking Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed for associating with streamer Hasan Piker. The ad highlights Piker's past comments that America "deserved 9/11" and footage of El-Sayed appearing with Piker during the primary campaign. El-Sayed has partially distanced himself from Piker ahead of the general election but acknowledged he continues to talk to him.
