It is a completely legitimate question and not because you’re a Muslim It’s legitimate to ask because: 1) your sister repeatedly claimed your family had ties to the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) 2) you supported Morsi in 2012 who was MB 3) you wrote an article for HuffPost in 2011 downplaying the risks of the MB — where with hindsight, objectively you were wrong — and luckily the MB is now banned in Egypt To the American’s who don’t have context here. The Muslim Brotherhood is an ideological movement that believes the ends justify the means. The closest analogy would be the communist movement last century. If we replaced “MB” with “Communist”, the evidence above would be more than enough to demand clear answers from anyone running for Senate with this background As far as I’m aware this clip was the first time you officially disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood But you should understand that a) when it takes you weeks to do so b) with the background laid out above and c) without acknowledging the severity of the MB as a dangerous ideology Frankly it just doesn’t instill much trust
