Why a Senate win for Abdul El-Sayed has Capitol Hill running scared

On Sunday’s edition of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” host Kristen Welker asked Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed if he would “set the record straight” on his alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.“No,” El-Sayed quickly replied, saying that neither he nor his family have any ties to the international Sunni Islamist network.El-Sayed is lying.He’s running as the most thinly veiled Trojan horse in American political history — on behalf of the Brotherhood and the Islamism it embodies.The Washington Free Beacon helped expose how El-Sayed’s half-sister, a radical University of Chicago professor named Eman Abdelhadi, has explicitly lauded their family’s Brotherhood ties.In 2012 Abdelhadi gushed over their mother, Fatten Elkomy: “Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early 70s.”That same year, as the Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi reigned in Elkomy’s native Egypt, Abdelhadi bragged that her “family has long been MB.”Care to answer Welker’s question again, Abdul?Abdelhadi also took to Instagram to deliver an “October 7th blessing” one year after the barbaric pogrom committed by the Brotherhood’s Palestinian-Arab offshoot, Hamas.Wearing a keffiyeh she intoned, “I want to say, Allahu Akbar.”What a peach.As for Elkomy, she worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, designated by the Treasury Department as a terrorist organization in 2004 for providing “direct financial support” to Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda.She was working there on 9/11.How stupid does El-Sayed think we are?Maybe he thought he could lie to Welker under the pretense of taqiyya, a sharia doctrine interpreted by some jihad-sympathizers as effective permission to lie to infidels.But we have the receipts.I’ve noted how El-Sayed’s father-in-law, Jukaku Tayeb, a founding committee member of the Islamic Society of North America, has donated $200,000 to El-Sayed’s campaign.El-Sayed has also raked in...
