Abdul El-Sayed disavows Muslim Brotherhood, responds to claims
Abdul El-Sayed, a Michigan Democratic Senate nominee, faced accusations linking him to the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist political movement widely designated as a terrorist group. The accusations stemmed partly from his half-sister's public statements about family ties to branches of the organization, and were amplified when President Trump claimed El-Sayed was a member. El-Sayed denied the accusations and disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood at a town hall and during a Senate debate, also objecting to what he characterized as implications questioning his commitment to the U.S. Constitution.
