El-Sayed erupts at GOP rival over Muslim Brotherhood accusations in fiery Senate debate

During a Michigan U.S. Senate debate, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed vehemently denied any ties to the Muslim Brotherhood after Republican Mike Rogers attempted to link him to the organization. Rogers referenced a 2012 letter El-Sayed allegedly signed calling for the Egyptian president, a Muslim Brotherhood member, to defund the police. El-Sayed accused Rogers of making shameful and beneath-the-belt attacks, asserting his commitment to the U.S. Constitution and denying personal or family affiliations with the group.
