Brief

El-Sayed, in a MeidasTouch post published 2026-08-08, mocked opponents who mispronounce his name and demanded they call him Abdul if they can’t say it. He accused Mike Rogers of being a corporate/Trump 'yes-man,' citing specific claims about data centers, higher drug prices, rubber-stamping war, and boot-licking, and urged Rogers to return to Florida.

Why it matters

El-Sayed: Now Mike, I'm just going to remind you: if you don't know how to say the name, keep the name out your damn mouth. Or just call me Abdul. But I got some opinions about his name. See, it's very fitting for him: Rogers.

Cause that's his answer every time a corporation or Donald Trump tells him to do something.

"Mike, we need you to put a data center in the backyard." — "Roger!"

"Mike, we need you to hike their prescription drug prices." — "Roger!"

"Mike, we need you to rubber-stamp this war we shouldn't be fighting." — "Roger!"

"Mike" — and this one's Donald Trump — "I need you to lick these boots." — "Roger!"

And I think—I think I speak for all of us here in Michigan when I say that we are done with Rogers. Go back to Florida where you belong!
