Abdul El-Sayed’s latest family scandal — I know, it is difficult to keep up with them all — is that his sister has posted multiple times about their family’s long-time connection to the Muslim Brotherhood. And his extremely lame response to this revelation is just to repeat the lie that he is a doctor and whine about “racism.“
Eman Abdelhadi, an assistant professor at the University of Chicago and El-Sayed’s sister, wrote in 2012: “:( 😦 s**]t. My family has long been MB, but I’ve always felt that it has navigated the political sphere poorly/destructively.” In 2013, she posted, “Praying for all my family that supports the #MB in #Egypt. Lie low, stay safe.”
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin tried to get El-Sayed’s campaign definitively to deny or confirm what Abdelhadi had posted. Without giving a direct denial about Abdelhadi’s posts, campaign spokesperson Roxie Richner griped that all allegations of Muslim Brotherhood ties are “untrue” and “racist.” Maybe she should tell that to the Muslim Brotherhood terrorists who excitedly celebrated El-Sayed’s candidacy.
“Abdul is a dad and a doctor. He has spent his entire career working to keep Michiganders healthy and safe,” Richner asserted. “Independent fact checkers have repeatedly debunked Mike’s lies, but their campaign continues to use bad faith attacks on Abdul’s faith and family. Mike wants to distract from Trump’s agenda that is terrorizing Michigan families at the pump and at the grocery store.” Mike Rogers is El-Sayed’s Republican opponent, and actually he is so incredibly good at revealing El-Sayed’s lies that there is a whole coalition of Democrats supporting him.
