Standing with America’s enemies.
Understandable move since the Muslim Brotherhood is now a significant part of the Democratic Party’s political operation.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and other Senate Dems on the Senate Judiciary Committee, including Richard Blumenthal, Mazie Hirono, Alex Padilla, and Peter Welch issued a snippy statement on their boycott of the “Hidden in Plain Sight: Confronting the Muslim Brotherhood Network in America” hearing by Sen. Ted Cruz.
The statement falsely claimed that this was “scapegoating Muslims” and claimed that “Democrats have no intention of indulging this political creepshow, particularly after the recent violence targeting places of faith.” A number of such attacks have targeted synagogues and Jews, and the Muslim Brotherhood, the subject of the investigation, has remained a vector for Islamic terrorism.
CAIR, whose leadership supported the Oct 7 attacks carried out by Hamas, the Gaza arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, and which is itself linked to the Brotherhood, issued a statement denouncing what it called “persistent and manufactured anti-Muslim fearmongering” and complained that the witnesses were “known for promoting anti-Muslim narratives”.
The witnesses in question are respected figures who “include Lara Burns, a former FBI special agent and senior research fellow at The George Washington University’s Program on Extremism; Arielle Klepach, senior counsel at the National Jewish Advocacy Center; and Kyle Shideler, a senior analyst for homeland security and counterterrorism at the Center for Security Policy.”
Senate Dems chose to stand with CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood over law enforcement and counterterrorism professionals which is to say, standing with America’s enemies.
Walter Sieruk says
With the subversive and insidious Muslim Brotherhood being so very active across the United States, it stands to reason that Americans should be aware of those stealth jihad- minded Muslims who are living the US who attempt to have Sharia law enacted in this country.
Attempting to fuse Us Constitution and Sharia is like trying to mix water and oil together.
This is the United States, and has something that is far better than Sharia law. It’s the US Constitution. This is America, not Saudi Arabia or Iran.
As the former US President, Theodore Roosevelt, had well-spoken when he declared in a speech “There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is only room here for only hundred percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”

Those stealth jihadists scheme of the Muslim Brotherhood who are achieving the advancement of Islam and its Sharia, There methods insidious infiltrate of the United States government both dangerously subversive to the US Constitution which those stealth jihadists in that the insidious stealth jihads efforts replace the US Constitution with Islam’s Sharia is somethings that all patriots American need to and should aware of
This Islamic takeover of the city of this, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads, “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”
Walter Sieruk says
Concerning the agenda of the stealth jihadist organization which is the Muslim Brotherhood that gaining more and more control and power across then United States through the stealth jihad.
A former Muslim had revealed that ”Jihad is carried out in order to achieve the ultimate goal of Islam – to establish Islamic authority over the whole world. Islam is not just a religion; it is a government too. ” [1]
Those stealth jihadists who have infiltrated the different branches and levels of the United States government , both Federal and State, by the method of the sly and subtle as well as disingenuous non-violent methods of the goal of advancement of Islam with its Sharia in the US , by the means what is known and called the “Stealth jihad.” By this technique, the Muslims who are the stealth jihadists are able to infiltrate the United States, and gradually, “inch by inch” and likewise “step by step.” Further, archive progression for their Islamic agenda for the advancement of Islam and to establish Sharia in the United States in place of the US Constitution.
To put this in another way, with America they would like to, if they can, enact Sharia as the law land instead of the US Constitution. Realistic or not, this is their objective.
To this end the stealth jihadists will and do use the Islamic of Taqiyya, which the modus operandi of speaks and printing lies that are very deceptive.
As explained in a more detail by a former Muslim and Hezbollah member who now a Christian .In his book he reveals” Lying, treachery and deception became Islam’s key tactics in conquering others. Those tactics are gathered in a doctrinal statement called “Taqiyya” which is one of the most effective arms for the spread of Islam. It means “Holy Deception” which means the use of every lie you can in order to spread Islam or to win the war against the enemy.” [2]

Anyone paying even a little bit of attention to this, should realize, will realize, that these goons who are calling the hearing insulting names and refusing to at least *listen* to the evidence….which has been around for decades….are willing to sell out the entire population of America to terrorists. And the terrorists are eating it up, knowing they are gaining in the power they need to ‘destroy the miserable house from within.” these terror-supporting pols are “miserable” and “within the house of government.”
What more proof does anyone need to see that these elected politicians have islime and its evil at heart. They care nothing for the victims….now and future….of islimic terror, rape, subjugation, mass murder, a continuing extortion and destruction of freedoms.

By boycotting the hearing the Democrats are admitting that criticism of the MB is tantamount to calling all Muslims jihadists. They think they are supporting Muslims when they’re doing the opposite.
The tag line should be … “Democrats boycott hearing on Muslim Brotherhood implying all Muslims are jihadists.”
Cynthia says
Stupid Dems! Arab countries who don’t want terrorism in their countries also ban the Muslim Brotherhood, namely: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain,Jordan and Syria.
The west is a lot more stupid. We have traitors in our own Congress and more are getting elected.
OLD GUY says
Anyone who refuses to attended Senate hearings on the Muslim Brotherhood doesn’t belong representing the Citizens of America.

Because in reality, when push comes to shove, ALL MUSLIMS are Jihadists. Not might be, are because the Moderates will never look in a Mirror, Take the Blinders OFF, and say, ” I support Slavery, Murder, Lying, MEN are all powerful, and women and Children are property to used and abused as I see fit.
Wellington says
The single greatest ally of Islam in our time is the Democratic Party of the USA. There are other allies of Mo’s warped creed, like the plethora of dhimmi leaders in Western Europe (and including the last two Popes) and total snakes like Putin and Xi, but I posit here there exists no more powerful ally of the worst religion of all time than the present Democratic Party, unfortunately one of the two major political parties in the most powerful nation (for now) on Earth.
I despise Islam. But I have come to despise the modern Democratic Party of America virtually as much, perhaps even more. And it should be clear by now that there is no saving the Democratic Party. Indeed, only mass exodus from it appears ever increasingly as the only way to save America.
Billy Bones says
In a memorandum by a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate, they stated that their strategy was to bring down the US “by their hands and the hands of the believers.” The “by their Hands” means to get the stupid infidels to surrender their own culture. I am sure they had people like Senator Blumenthal in mind when they made that pronouncement.
Rick Gordon says
I don’t understand how an elected representative can decide not to participate in a committee discussion that is impotent to our security. I understand partisanship – but this behavior is anarchy. The refusal to carry out the duties of their office ought to be grounds for impeachment.
STEVEN says
Sen. Cruz should have asked some terrorism experts from Arab countries that banned the MB.
As for the Dems. They prove thay can’t differentiate between protagonists and their victims; they are woefully ill suited to hold power.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Great idea! That would have demonstrated that Dems are even more pro-jihad than, say, the Saudis, who have banned not only the muslim brotherhood, but CAIR as well
PRCS USN (ret) says
Yes, re: Arab terrorism experts.
Notwithstanding his noteworthy attempts to inform the public, Cruz and other well-intended folks are oafs concerning Islam’s terminology and teachings.
Robert Spencer’s consistent, and IMO, proper use of the word Sharia (Iislamic law) seems never to catch the attention of those who think ‘sharia law’ and ‘radical Islam’ are accurate and informative terms.
While Cruz did address the MB memorandum, and made clear the First Amemdment’s guarantee of religious liberty is not without limit: his example of supporting religiously driven terrorism.could have and eventually must include specific suras and hatith that—if acted out—would unequivocally violate U.S. law.
He should invite Spencer to his podcast.
And, please, Ted learn enough about Islam to tell your followers why Qur’an 9:29 gives lie to a Muslim’s oath of office—one hand on that vile book.
“Islam’s ultimate goal is subjugation of all mankind under the hegemony of Islamic law.”
Time to put our ‘moderate’ Muslims on defence.

You may have seen people in horror movies running and hiding from a knife wielding psycho. That is your average democrat. The difference is, in those movies the people didn’t make speeches stating, don’t scapegoat knife wielding psychos! In a democrat movie they do.
Billy Bones says
One of the earliest critics of Islam was John Quincy Adams. In one of his writings about it he made an observation that is so true today. He wrote “The commands of the prophet may be performed alike by fraud or by force. Today the Muslim Brotherhood is the fraud branch of jihad, the griffter branch. Hammas, Al Queda and the rest are the force branch.

Yes–John Quincy Adams was a hero–and his knowledge about Islam should be much better known today.

Senate Dems to Boycott Senate Hearing on Muslim Brotherhood

Because they sympathize with Jihad terror?

When bo went down to Egypt to give a speech, he demanded that the members of the mb….banned in Egypt by the government…be seated in the front row as he spoke.
The government gave in to his demands and the members of the mb were given the *honor* (puke, puke) of sitting in the front row to hear their fellow muzzlie give a speech degrading America and exalting islime. And promising that muzzlie girls were free to wear their slave rape- her-not-me-rag.
and bo’s fellow dems are still doing the same thing….only inside the country and not in
some foreign land.

In the Batman television series, there was an episode where The Penguin was running for Mayor of Gotham City against Batman. His campaign motto was that “every time you see Batman, he is in the company of the criminals, whereas every time you see him, he is in 5he company of law enforcement.!”

Senate Democrats are now Democrat Socialists. According to the writings of Lenin Democrat Socialist is the cover for agitation in western democracies and a cover for communism. So where is the DOJ? With all this obvious ultra-left speech how are the supposed reps not in violation of their pledge of allegiance to uphold the Constitution of the US?
PRCS USN (ret) says
I’d like to say I wonder if Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and other Senate Dems on the Senate Judiciary Committee, including Richard Blumenthal, Mazie Hirono, Alex Padilla, and Peter Welch have even a clue about Islam’s teachings.
But, I don’t.

“Rep. Andy Ogles, a Trump-backed Republican congressman from Tennessee who stated that “Muslims don’t belong in American society” and that “America and Islam are incompatible,” lost his House primary on August 7, 2026. He was defeated by former Tennessee agricultural commissioner Charlie Hatcher in the race for the state’s 5th congressional district, despite receiving President Donald Trump’s “complete and total endorsement” just hours before polls closed.
Ogles had previously sparked significant backlash for his anti-Muslim comments on social media, which House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries condemned as “disgusting Islamophobia.””
What will Hatcher’s position on Islam in America be?
Brenrod says
These hearings should be televised so that the public can see who is turning a blind eye to the danger to our nation. I doubt they are ignorant but rather want the public to remain ignorant.

These traitors want the public to remain ignorant of the danger.
