Abdul El-Sayed refused to say Hasan Piker's name at a Michigan press conference, calling him "a social media person in California" — after inviting him to campaign.

Larry O'Connor breaks down El-Sayed's damage control: the "hurt people hurt people" statement after the attack on a synagogue and a Jewish summer camp in Michigan, the walk-back that never quite becomes an apology, and the shift from "we" to "I" depending on whether he's distancing himself or defending himself.

A Fox News reporter presses him on whether he'll condemn Piker, notes that Jewish voters are asking the question, and El-Sayed shakes his head while his press secretary tries to take control of the room. Then Dave Weigel gets Piker on the record: El-Sayed's campaign asked him to come to Michigan, not the other way around.

Larry raises the question no one has asked yet — whether any money moved between the El-Sayed campaign and Piker's podcast for the appearances, the travel, or the mentions. Plus Mike Rogers on Democrats for Rogers in Detroit, the Haley Stevens voters in play, and the new ad built entirely out of El-Sayed's own words.
