There is something deeply wrong with James Talarico.

Abdul El-Sayed is working on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood. This should be bi-partisan and should scare every American. The Muslim Brotherhood wrote down its plan in 1991: destroy Western civilization from within, and listed 29 "friend" organizations in America to help do it. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, is connected to them over and over again: • ISNA is number 1 on the Brotherhood's friends list. El-Sayed's father-in-law sits on ISNA's Founders Committee • ISNA was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case. Its leaders were convicted in 2008 of funneling $12 million to Hamas • His father-in-law was also president of CAIR Michigan, another group named in that same Hamas financing case, and still sits on its board • That father-in-law has put $300,000 into the super PAC electing El-Sayed • The Muslim Student Association is number 2 on the list. El-Sayed was vice president of its University of Michigan chapter. His wife was on the board too • He speaks at ISNA, CAIR, and ICNA events. ICNA is on the list too • His half-sister wrote it plainly in 2012: "My family has long been MB." She wrote about their mother's Brotherhood activism, and family members jailed for being part of it • Their mother worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, designated by Treasury in 2004 for financing al-Qaeda and Hamas • In 2011, El-Sayed wrote that Americans should not worry if the Muslim Brotherhood took power in Egypt • In 2012, he signed a letter backing Brotherhood president Morsi and calling on him to "purge the media and the police as quickly as possible" • When America killed al-Qaeda propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki, El-Sayed called it an "extrajudicial assassination" • When America killed 9/11 mastermind Ayman al-Zawahiri, El-Sayed called the strike "troubling" and a "fig leaf" • When Trump killed Soleimani, the Iranian general behind the deaths of over 600 US troops, El-Sayed warned: "one shouldn't kick a rabid dog" • When Khamenei was killed, El-Sayed said there were "a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today" • Asked by Bret Baier about the Morsi letter, El-Sayed shut the question down: "I'm not interested." He would not walk it back • After he won his primary, the Muslim Brotherhood's own website celebrated He says he "has no ties". Does this look like "no ties" to you?
