'Set the record straight!': Abdul’s alleged Muslim Brotherhood family links surface after NBC denial

Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat, is facing fresh scrutiny after denying links to the Muslim Brotherhood during an NBC interview. The controversy intensified after old social media posts by his half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, resurfaced, including a 2012 post describing their mother’s activism in the Muslim Brotherhood while attending college in Egypt in the early 1970s. Other posts referred to the family’s long association with the group. El-Sayed has accused his Republican opponent, Mike Rogers, of pushing Islamophobic attacks, while his campaign has rejected the allegations as politically motivated. Here’s what was said on NBC and what the resurfaced posts reveal.
