“I'm just telling you that, like, you're using hearsay evidence from a tweet. This is not serious. It's not serious."
El Sayed was questioned about posts made by his half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, including a 2012 one that stated, “Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early 70s while she was in college #respect.”
El-Sayed replied, “It's funny to me. I was born in 1984, down the street in Rochester Hills. I was raised here in Michigan. Went to the University of Michigan. Rebuilt the health department in this city. Led the health department in this county. And you want to ask me about what was happening in Egypt in 1970? Are you serious?”
He once again claimed, “I have no ties, we have no ties” to the Muslim Brotherhood. “I have never had these conversations with my mother.” El-Sayed and Abdelhadi share a mother.
“I'm just telling you that, like, you're using hearsay evidence from a tweet. This is not serious. It's not serious,” he added.
The reporter pushed back, saying, “But you've also gone after the president for truthfulness. You've also gone after the president for truthfulness. So when people ask you a question, they all do expect the truth.”
El-Sayed replied, “And do you think? Do you think? Are you, are you insinuating that somehow I was lying? I'm telling you, I was not.”
El-Sayed denied the ties in a recent interview the NBC’s Meet the Press, suggesting that Republican opponent Mike Rogers was using the allegations to attack his Muslim faith.
El-Sayed’s mother, Fatten Fathy Elkomy, reportedly worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, or IARA-USA, from 1999 through at least 2004. The IARA’s worldwide network and fie senior officials were sanctioned by the US Treasury Department in 2004, with the officials saying that the network had provided financial support to Osama bin Laden.
