Let's talk about fomenting hate. Shall we?

A recent campaign video released by Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers in Michigan left one of his opponent's staffers feeling triggered.
Rogers on Sunday released a video of himself riding shotgun in a red antique Ford pickup truck, which had two American flags affixed to the tailgate. The video shows Rogers smiling and waving from the passenger's seat as the truck breezes down the road. Toby Keith's "American Ride" accompanies the video.
"Gotta love this American Ride! There’s no better way to do the Woodward Dream Cruise!" said a post from Rogers accompanying the video online.
But one staffer for Abdul El-Sayed, the far-left socialist-adjacent Democrat running against Rogers, did not find the bit of Americana to his liking.
"Mike Rogers’ campaign has the aesthetics of a 1960s white flight suburb and a KKK cross burning," Mason Pressler, who serves as a El-Sayed's political manager in the northern part of Michigan, said on X.
Rogers' campaign seized on the post, accusing Pressler of thinking that "driving a Michigan-made Ford truck is akin to the KKK."
The campaign also added "Old Ford trucks" to its running list of things it says El-Sayed hates.
