The New York Times covered what it called “ugly attacks and pointed questions” about Abdul El-Sayed’s “faith and family ties.”
The Times referenced two stories first reported in the Free Beacon: that El-Sayed signed a letter urging the Muslim Brotherhood to “purge” media and police in Egypt, and that his sister tweeted about their relatives’ membership in the Brotherhood.
El-Sayed’s campaign declined to answer questions about both.
Abdul El-Sayed, in an interview with Jonathan Cohn of the Bulwark, had this to say about those who oppose what he called his “righteous fight”:
“If you’re coming to kick down what we’re building, I’ll fight you. Like, I’m not afraid. So I was also the kid in AP classes getting suspended for fighting.”
Rioters in France have displayed signs bearing the slogan, “bismillah c’est les ténèbres,” which the New York Times describes as “a mash-up of the Islamic blessing ‘In the name of God.’”
That would suggest that the riots have something to do with unfettered immigration. Just don’t tell that to the New York Times, which has pinned the protests on vague forces in coverage that is “so biased it’s actually funny,” @IraStoll writes.
James Talarico is running for Senate as a friend of Texas’s oil and gas industry.
But as a state representative pushing a Texas version of the “Green New Deal,” he sought to eliminate a natural gas tax exemption that helps consumers save on their energy bills, @ThomasCatenacci reports.
Talarico made similar remarks during a recent CNN town hall, saying, “I’ve had family members who have worked in the oil and gas industry here in our state. I went to public schools here in Texas that were funded by the oil and gas industry. That’s how we fund public education in the state.”

At least six men who joined Abdul El-Sayed in signing a notorious 2012 letter calling for a Muslim Brotherhood “purge” of the media and police have also donated handsomely to his two runs for office, mostly to his current Senate campaign, records reviewed by @LevineJonathan show.
On Wednesday evening, El-Sayed dismissed the scrutiny into his family during a debate against Republican opponent Mike Rogers, who referenced the 2012 letter by accusing El-Sayed of calling to “defund the police there” in Egypt.
“He keeps raising this question about this association with an organization I’ve never been a part of because of my mom who’s a nurse in Missouri?” El-Sayed said, omitting her work for the charity shut down over terror fundraising. “To bring into question my commitment to the Constitution is really beneath you.”
