The claim
After El-Sayed secured the Democratic nomination, his Republican opponent, Mike Rogers, posted a statement on X, calling him "someone who believes America deserved 9/11."
Original publisher’s rating
DW Fact check: False. The allegation has come up repeatedly but conflates previous remarks made by El-Sayed supporter Hasan Piker with El-Sayed's own views.
