Fox News • • nation
Key Points:
- During the Michigan U.S. Senate debate, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed strongly denied any ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and criticized Republican Mike Rogers for attempting to link him to the organization.
- Rogers referenced a 2012 letter El-Sayed signed urging Egypt's then-president, a Muslim Brotherhood member, to reform the police, using it to question El-Sayed's stance on law enforcement funding.
- El-Sayed defended his commitment to the U.S. Constitution and rejected allegations about his family's involvement with the Muslim Brotherhood, noting he was not raised by his biological mother.
- Social media posts from El-Sayed's half-sister alleging their mother's past activism with the Muslim Brotherhood resurfaced, but El-Sayed denied any personal or familial connections.
- There is no evidence supporting claims that El-Sayed has any affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood, despite Rogers' warnings about the organization's ideology and its perceived threat to law enforcement.
