John F. Kennedy did indeed face heavily scrutiny during his 1960 presidential campaign. It was rooted in anti-Catholic prejudice; critics questioned whether a Catholic president could truly serve American interests independently from the Vatican and the pope. What El-Sayed has said about himself and Kennedy, however, is insulting to America’s collective intelligence.
El-Sayed’s attempt to compare himself to Kennedy back in the 1960s, a time when America was also grappling with an institutionalized system of racial segregation in the South, is a tactic that America’s gravest enemies have used for years to smear the country. It is based on reminders about historic wrongs that were corrected long ago — from slavery to colonialism and discrimination against Catholics. This is a mentality that is troubling for anyone pretending to support American interests. Why can’t El-Sayed simply deal with the valid concerns at hand in this senatorial election? That answer is apparent. Read more HERE.
Racism and discrimination are worlds apart from prudent scrutiny about a dangerous entity such as the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) gaining power and influence in the United States. El-Sayed’s connections to the group even drawn suspicion, albeit briefly, from CBS’ chief legal correspondent, Jan Crawford, who quickly backtracked when she realized that she had gone off the reservation: she ended up deleting and apologizing for a social media post in which she praised a man who questioned El-Sayed about his family’s Muslim Brotherhood ties. Still, the fact that she expressed concern about El-Sayed’s Muslim Brotherhood ties in the first place demonstrated that even some leftists are concerned about this.
The evidence is clear: Back in 2012, El-Sayed’s half sister Eman Abdelhadi wrote:
Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early 70s while she was in college #respect
— Eman Abdelhadi (@emanabdelhadi) June 24, 2012
Abedlhadi wrote on June 24, 2012, days after Egypt elected Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi as president: “My family has long been MB.” And on July 3, 2013, she wrote: “I have had family jailed for being a part of it…Praying for all my family that supports the #MB in Egypt. Lie low, stay safe.”
Now El-Sayed is dismissing what he claims are “crazy” questions about his dual loyalties, yet there is nothing crazy about them, particularly given his family’s ties to Muslim Brotherhood. For El-Sayed to resort to the tired old gaslighting phrase of “crazy” when busted makes him look even more guilty.
His cronies have predictably wielded the “Islamophobia” subterfuge, which Muslim Brotherhood operatives have always heavily manipulated in order to shut down all criticism and scrutiny about Islam. This has effectively enabled Islam to expand its Sharia tentacles throughout America, using the woke to transmit the Muslim Brotherhood agenda. El-Sayed should keep talking. The more he does, the more he shows up what he really is.
“Abdul El-Sayed invokes JFK to dismiss ‘crazy’ questions over family’s alleged ties to Muslim Brotherhood,” by CJ Womack, Fox News, October 18, 2026:
Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed compared himself to former President John F. Kennedy during a Saturday “MS NOW Reports” interview with Ali Velshi, likening questions about his family’s alleged Muslim Brotherhood ties to scrutiny Kennedy faced over his Catholic faith.
El-Sayed invoked Kennedy’s 1960 presidential campaign while arguing that questions about his family were intended to cast doubt on his allegiance to the United States.
“I also know that I tread a long history of this: when John F. Kennedy ran for president, he was asked about whether or not his allegiance would be to the Constitution or to the pope and the Vatican…” he began.
“The Constitution guarantees me the right as I choose to pray or any of us, to pray as we choose to pray or not to pray at all,” he continued. “Nobody understands how important that document is like somebody who has their rights constantly threatened and so I will stand for that constitution. And it’s a crazy thing to assume that somehow I’d have dual loyalties as somebody who’s avidly running to protect the right to choose, who’s running to protect LGBTQ rights, who’s running to protect religious freedom…”
Taffy says
The voters in the US should note that it took a military coup to oust Morsi and the evil Muslim Brotherhood from office in Egypt to return the country to a state where it can live among the nations of the world and not grind down its population with the most radical Islam.
There should be enough sane voters in Michigan to vote for Roger’s instead of el-Sayed, but unfortunately there is a contingent that would vote democratic, even if the Dems ran a brass monkey for office. The upsetting thing is that el-Sayed had enough support to make it this far, by defeating Haley Stevens, the incumbent, in the primary.
Michigan better awaken itself or the whole state will soon look like a Detroit and Dearborn.
Voltaic says
Mister El-Sayed, I knew Jack Kennedy -and you’re no Catholic.
Huh!?! says
If the implications weren’t so grim, it would be laughable. In referencing the U.S. Constitution, El-Sayed needs to be educated that the Constitution does not give way to a political system, disguised as a religion, that seeks to destroy the U.S. As the mid-terms are upon us, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Vote! Vote! Vote!
Raja says
By comparing himself to JFK he has proven that he is a thorough bed a sly guy who cannot be trusted at all.
Voters need to be aware that Catholics, for that matter any Christian has never killed any human with a yell: Jesus is Lord! Whereas islam is a war machine that keeps steamrolling with all the tools of devil no matter how good a person/nation is.
somehistory says
Yes, Raja. People should compare him to the mayor’ of NYC, and ilhan elmi, and ratshida tlaib.
See how closely he comes to being like those other muzzies who have proven to have connections to muzzie terror organizations.
It was honest to ask JFK if he would bow to the vatican if an issue arose. There had never been a Catholic president, so people had questions
They didn’t ask enough questions about bo and look what he did….helping the mb back to power in Egypt, and bringing in so much islime.

“El-Sayed compares questions about his family’s Muslim Brotherhood ties to scrutiny JFK faced over his Catholic faith”
Nothing in common between the Catholic believes and Islam believes.
Catholic according to the Bible the teaching of Jesus Christ: love, peace, respect others religion, respect women, forgiveness, marriage one woman, equality, etc.
Muslims Brotherhood are the god father for all Islamic terrorists’ organization.
Islam according to the Koran and the sharia law based on pedophilia, murder, rapping, kidnapping, theft, lies, stealing, no women respect, head of the women same as her sex privacy must be covered, stoning adultery, cuts hand of thieve, no freedom of religion and speech, no human rights, no democracy, Fairwell sex with the dead wife in her first six hours, Man can have up to four wives,
DEMOCRACY BROUGHT HITLER, AND MUSLIMS WHO ARE WORSE.
BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND ISLAM, I HAVE ISALMOPHOBIA.
EVERY MUSLIM IS A TIMING BOMB.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
This comparison would only have made sense had JFK had family ties to the IRA, which at the time was a Catholic terrorist organization fighting Britain
