Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.
Claimant: Mike Rogers (R)
Claim: Abdul El-Sayed “believes America deserved 9/11.”
Rating: BLATANT LIE
Explanation: Rogers based the accusation on a 2019 remark by Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, not El-Sayed. Although El-Sayed later campaigned with Piker, El-Sayed has said he does not believe the September 11 attacks were justified.
