Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed faces controversy over an ad blaming Jews for high costs, as Trump attacks him and a former primary rival criticizes the spot
An ad shared by Cenk Uygur and attributed to Rebellion PAC blames Israel for grocery costs. Rep. Haley Stevens, whom El-Sayed defeated in the Michigan Senate primary, criticized the ad as fearmongering. President Trump made anti-Muslim comments about El-Sayed at a Michigan rally, and the New York Post editorial board condemned the ad.

The split, in one line
The right calls the ad unapologetically Nazi drivel and spotlights Dem on Dem violence; the left-leaning memo focuses on Trump's anti-Muslim attacks and whether they backfire. Only one camp centers the ad itself.
