EXCERPT:
Ever since Abdul El-Sayed became the Democratic Senate nominee from Michigan, the liberal media has been doing all \it can to protect him against accusations of anti-Semitism, and belittle concerns about his close relationship with radical left wing streamer Hasan Piker, who, among other outrageous statements, once said America deserved 9-11. On Sunday’s Face The Nation, CBS host Margaret Brennan’s performance was one of the most egregious examples of this.
After receiving a ‘good morning’ welcome from Brennan, Congressman John James of Michigan, who is also the GOP’s gubernatorial candidate from the state, wasted no time in getting his main point across:
JAMES: Hey, Margaret, good morning. Thank you so much for having me on. I’m really excited, because in a state like Michigan, we have the most extreme ticket running, with Abdul El Sayyed and Jocelyn Benson [MI Secretary of State and Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate] campaigning with people who said that we deserved 9/11–
BRENNAN: Okay–
JAMES: I say, never forget.
James seemed to rattle Brennan, who was apparently caught off guard, and then acted confused, as if she had never heard this issue raised before, or as if she had never heard of Piker. She also seemed to label Benson as a senate candidate, which is of course incorrect:
Oh, wow. I want to ask you about some issues with your platform and the like, but never forget, of course. I’m sorry, did you just accuse Senate candidates of something to do with terrorism? I’m not clear what you just said?
“Senate candidates?” “Something to do with terrorism?” She refused to mention both El-Sayed, or Piker, who, maybe someone should inform Brennan.
So here we go. Piker recently said that American Jews who support Israel, are responsible for bringing about acts of anti-Semitism, causing a rebuke from House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and has along history of verbally attacking Jews.
