David Beamer narrates campaign ad targeting Abdul El-Sayed over Hasan Piker ties

David Beamer, father of 9/11 Flight 93 hero Todd Beamer, narrated a campaign ad supporting Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers and attacking Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed for his association with streamer Hasan Piker. The ad highlights Piker's past statements that America "deserved 9/11" and footage of El-Sayed declining to disavow Piker's views. El-Sayed has partially distanced himself from Piker ahead of the general election.
