El-Sayed Denies Muslim Brotherhood Family Ties While His Own Family BOASTS of Them

The relevant clip: Welker: Can you set the record straight about whether you or your family have any ties to the Muslim Brotherhood? El-Sayed: No, but let’s talk about this. Welker: No, you don’t have any ties? El-Sayed: No. Welker: And your family doesn’t? El-Sayed: No (Daugherty; full interview: NBC News). California Congressman Ro Khanna is willing to play along: “Suggesting Abdul El-Sayed supports the Muslim Brotherhood is extremely Islamophobic” (Yakoby).

I know Abdul well as a result of my own 2018 governor run. His response to me pointing out his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood at a May 2018 gubernatorial forum before 150 members of the MI Press Association was to say to me “You may not hate Muslims, but Muslims definitely hate… https://t.co/vnEHzIIU9i pic.twitter.com/0sgXe2LAdn

Here is the official website of the Muslim Brotherhood celebrating Abdul El-Sayed.

The candor—which is particularly helpful in this election cycle—has come not from El-Sayed himself but from Eman Abdelhadi, his half-sister. The two share the same mother—Fatten Elkomy. Free Beacon: “My family has long been MB,” Abedlhadi wrote on June 24, 2012, days after Egypt elected Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi as president. “I have had family jailed for being a part of it,” she wrote on July 3, 2013. “Praying for all my family that supports the #MB in Egypt. Lie low, stay safe” she said. Abdelhadi’s Egyptian family is seemingly the same as El-Sayed’s. Their mother, Fatten Elkomy, emigrated from Egypt in the late 1970s and married El-Sayed’s father. After they divorced, Elkomy married Abdelhadi’s father, who was Palestinian. Abdelhadi: “Praying for all my family that support the #MB in #Eyypt. Lie low, stay safe” (Free Beacon).

Reporter: Do you or your family have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood?

Abdul: No.

More from Eliana Johnson: Abdelhadi, who was arrested for assaulting a police officer at an anti-ICE protest in Chicago last year, also indicated in her posts that she remained in close contact with her Brotherhood relatives, writing in 2012, “Asked my Aunt about the MB when she was visiting the US, was surprised by respect for civil liberties, women, religious minorities” (Free Beacon).

Abdul El Sayed lied when he said his family had no connection to the Muslim Brotherhood. Watch this. Mike Rogers keeps delivering devastating haymaker commercials. pic.twitter.com/JFKuq66ZUA
