Leave it to the legacy media to throw a lifeline to a Democratic candidate caught in a web of radical Islamic ties.
“Good Morning America” is pulling out all the stops to cover for Michigan Democrat Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed. The network tried to brush off Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers’ fiery questioning in his debate against El-Sayed Wednesday night, claiming Rogers attempted to link El-Sayed to Islamic extremists “without providing evidence.”
“Good Morning America” played up El-Sayed’s defensive outrage when he branded the line of questioning “shameful” and wrapped himself in the Constitution.
The legacy media network wants voters to believe there’s nothing to see, but there is plenty of evidence to go around. Even The New York Times was forced to admit it.

In a glaring admission on Wednesday, the Times confirmed that El-Sayed signed a damning 2012 open letter backing Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi — a story that was reported by the Washington Free Beacon weeks ago. Published right as Morsi launched a power grab to protect his decisions from judicial review, the letter, which was signed by 46 Egyptian-American leaders, urged the regime to “purge the media and the police as quickly as possible.”
When pressed by reporters to explain the 2012 letter, El-Sayed’s campaign stonewalled and flat-out declined to answer.
Beyond the Morsi letter, El-Sayed’s own family members have acknowledged Muslim Brotherhood ties. His father-in-law has sat on the Islamic Society of North America 20-member founding committee since at least 2007. ISNA was named as part of the Muslim Brotherhood network in evidence from the landmark 2008 Holy Land Foundation federal terrorism-financing trial.
El-Sayed’s track record on foreign policy and extremism raises even more red flags. When Islamic extremists attempted to murder Jewish kindergarteners, El-Sayed tried to explain the attack without focusing on Islamic terrorism, saying that “hurt people hurt people.” He has appeared alongside Dearborn activists who have praised Hezbollah.
Caught on tape during the current campaign, El-Sayed admitted that he refused to comment on the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei because too many of his local constituents would be upset.
He actively hits the campaign trail with extremist influencer Hasan Piker, who openly touts Hamas over Israel and speaks warmly of the terror group Hezbollah.
His mother worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, a group shut down after being federally designated as a supporter of terror organizations, including al-Qaeda.
