About this source
Direct page access was unavailable when reviewed on September 11, 2026. Public search indexing exposed limited quotation excerpts. The article reports responses to Rogers’s September 10 convention address, which included the campaign-finance allegation. The reporting does not establish that either response specifically denied the funding sentence, so any related position must retain that limitation.
Before the quotation
Michigan Advance reported that Richner responded to Rogers’s convention address, which included Rogers’s statement that El-Sayed was funding his campaign with money from terrorist groups. The source is paywalled and was only available through a public search-index excerpt when reviewed.
After the quotation
Richner’s quoted wording called claims in the address “shameful lies,” but the available excerpt does not isolate the campaign-finance statement. This is not recorded as a direct denial of that allegation.
How this statement is classified
The campaign rejected the characterization advanced in Rogers’s address. It did not expressly identify or deny the campaign-finance allegation, so this entry is scoped to the address as a whole.
