Watters interviewed El-Sayed in a 25-minute segment, calling him a lunatic while admitting he liked the candidate for not being a typical stiff politician. During a debate on medical care for minors, El-Sayed asked Watters if he was circumcised to illustrate that health decisions belong between parents, doctors, and patients. El-Sayed mocked his Republican opponent, Mike Rogers, calling him a beta for declining to appear on the Fox News host's show. El-Sayed will face Rogers in what polling suggests will be a close U.S. Senate election in Michigan this November.
