El-Sayed Pushes Back at Fox's Baier Over Questions on Muslim Brotherhood Ties

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed pushed back against Fox News's Bret Baier in an interview that aired Friday evening, according to a report in The Hill. The exchange concerned questions about the candidate's alleged ties to an Islamist political group.

The Hill reported that Baier began by asking El-Sayed about accusations repeatedly made by his opponent, former Representative Mike Rogers, a Republican from Michigan. The report's summary does not describe the accusations in full, and it does not state how El-Sayed answered each question.

The Hill's headline frames the exchange around the Muslim Brotherhood and includes the phrase "Be a journalist." The available text does not say who spoke those words or to whom they were addressed, and it does not say whether the candidate addressed the substance of the ties alleged by Rogers.

The summary available for this account ends before the accusations are fully described, so it does not give the complete terms of the claims or any response from Rogers. It also does not include a statement from El-Sayed's campaign. The report is credited to reporter Sarah Davis.

The report does not address the state of the race or any polling. Additional details about the accusations, the responses to them, and the broadcast itself are not contained in the available material.
