Far left Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed recently appeared on Meet the Press and was asked if he or anyone in his family has connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. His answer was a flat no.
But NBC News just committed an actual act of journalism and confronted El-Sayed about tweets from his sister and other family members that appear to suggest that there is a family connection to the organization.
El-Sayed did not appreciate the line of questions.

I was raised here in Michigan, went to the University of Michigan, rebuilt the Health Department in this city, led the Health Department in this county. And you want to ask me about what was happening in Egypt in 1970? Are you serious?
LLAMAS: I get it, but you were asked a question. You gave an answer.
