“No, No, No!” Abdul El-Sayed Snaps at Bret Baier Over Alleged Family Ties to Muslim Brotherhood

The Interview Turns Heated

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed had a sharp response when Fox News host Bret Baier asked about alleged familial ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The interview did not stay in the polite cable-news lane for long. “No, no, no, no! Let me stop you there!” El-Sayed said. He said he was not interested in a 2012 statement or a letter because Baier was going to pull it out of context. El-Sayed then challenged him directly: “Don’t be Rogers’ campaign. Be a journalist!” The exchange put the dispute over family connections and allegiance in plain view.

El-Sayed Rejects the Allegations

El-Sayed denies having familial ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and calls the accusations racist and untrue. His response focused not only on the age of the material but also on its context and the conclusions being drawn from it, especially any suggestion that family ties prove his own allegiance. His repeated demand for context was the center of his response. Instead of accepting Baier’s framing, he pushed back on the premise and accused the host of acting like a campaign representative rather than a journalist. The answer was direct, emotional, and delivered in real time.

The Claims Behind the Question

The material behind the question comes from social media posts authored by El-Sayed’s sister, Eman Abdelhad. The report says those posts reveal familial ties and support for the Muslim Brotherhood. El-Sayed rejects the allegation that he has such ties, leaving the public dispute centered on competing claims: the posts cited by the report, the candidate’s denial, and Baier’s questions about what those details mean. The report describes the Muslim Brotherhood as a designated terrorist organization. That label explains the national-security stakes being raised, but it does not eliminate the need to separate documented statements from conclusions about a candidate’s personal allegiance.

Markwayne Mullin Raises National Security Concerns

DHS Chief Markwayne Mullin has also entered the fight. Earlier in the week, according to the report, Mullin criticized El-Sayed and warned about what he called “extreme Islam.” Mullin said the Muslim Brotherhood still wants to harm the United States and argued that claims the group is no longer active do not match his law-enforcement experience. He added that an alleged association should prompt questions about a person’s convictions. Mullin also claimed that Islam permits Muslims to lie, tied that claim to the Prophet Muhammad, and said the issue is dangerous to the world and the United States. Those are Mullin’s statements, while the video shows El-Sayed making his own forceful case to Baier.
