Ahead of the November 3 midterms, Republican Mike Rogers and Donald Trump are pressing Muslim Brotherhood allegations against Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
- The New York Post reported El-Sayed signed a 2012 letter urging then-Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi to purge media and police institutions.
- During the debate Rogers asked El-Sayed whether he is "with America or with these terrorist groups abroad."
- El-Sayed denied any Brotherhood ties, calling the question shameful and saying he is proud of the US Constitution.
- Trump described El-Sayed as an extremist without providing evidence.
