  1. This is so unfair to Rogers – 3 of El Sayed’s IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS openly are boasting about links to the MB.

    El Sayed has NEVER denounced them. And you CANNOT excuse El Sayed by referencing the 2012 Tahrir Square protests. His sister PRAISED her mother for working with the 1970s MB who deleted Sadat.

    El Sayed signed that letter which called for “purging the press”. And guess what happened? The “protest for freedom” became what that part of the world always is – an even more hate-filled place. the Egyptian military had to overthrew Morsi because they KNEW he was secretly fanning the flames for an MB entry into every cultural institution in the country.

    The LAST thing a patriot and a HERO like Roger’s is is a bigot. It is unbelievably cheap.

  2. The arrogance of these Trumpian people to just make up lies on the spot shows how aloof they are. They have stolen the wealth of Americans to enrich themselves but at least give the Americans a bit of respect and stop with the constant lying.

  3. She clearly told him that she had 😂😂conducted the interview, yet he continued to deny what she was saying and brought up an alleged connection to the Muslim Brotherhood. He did not even seem to listen to her explanation. How can someone effectively represent others when they cannot follow a conversation, address the facts, or provide a reasonable response?

  5. Why don’t you do your home work before you do the interview ROGER
    Instead you talk a lot of lies all we hear brother hod brother hod you know USA and EU was support brother hod in last 100 years 🤔

  6. The man talks a lot of BS. He is not talking about issues. He is not talking about his achievements as a senator. He is not talking about how he plans to turn things around in Muchigan. He uses his carrer as an armyman, and as an FBI employee to raise his esteem and to bolster his sagging popularity. How he denigrates his oppinent because of his religeous callung. Rogers kevel serious charges at el Sayed. He needs to privide concrete evudence when makung all the nasty claims against el Syed. Rogrers has failed Michigan. He has belittled his position as U.S.Senator. It is apparent he has a particular foreign country come in his dreams.

  7. Mike Rogers is using tactics to control the interview and deflect attention. Terrible politician without principles and lack credibility all the way. He knows, he is going down and won’t win at all.

  8. I feel sad and angry seeing this…. The people are struggling to afford the basics of everyday life and this guy is busy defending a point that doesn’t even exist. Him and the likes of him shouldn’t even appear anywhere without receipts of their claims against Abdul or anyone that looks like Abdul for that matter. This is ridiculous. The country is in 40T debt. People can’t afford gas and grocery or visit to a doctor. And all he has to say is Abdul gets money from terror group?…. Without proof? Give me a break!

  9. At least he didn’t call him a violent terrorist 🤦🏽. When you have to be this racist to stir up fear, you know within yourself you’re losing. Bad too!!

  10. The world has to know that Muslim Brotherhood is not a terrorist group and never had been, Arab dictatorship are the one calling them terrorist because they are oppose them and fight them , Muslim Brotherhood have never committed any terrorist operation against any one The Muslim brotherhood is the number 1 enemy of the Zionists and that's why the western media calling the a terrorist group < the world has to understand this fact

  11. He accuses El syed of past long gone, while he himself is supporting genocide of palistinians, where 80,000 have been murdered. Address the present why have you not said a word of mass murder and torture plus american journalists are being killed but not a word.
