A volunteer “captain” for Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed appears in undercover footage saying, “It’s because Americans are idiots,” while discussing scrutiny of the candidate’s alleged connections to the Muslim Brotherhood recently. The Midwesterner posted the recording on X on October 26 and identified the man as T.J. Wolfgram, describing him as the campaign’s conservative and independent outreach captain.
“I don’t have any issue with the Muslim Brotherhood,” Wolfgram said, adding, “And if I knew more about it, I might support some of what they do.” El-Sayed has denied any personal or family ties to the organization, according to Newsweek, which reported seeking comment from his campaign and an account believed to belong to Wolfgram.
In separate undercover footage published by Townhall on October 28 and promoted on its X account, Democrat Representative Rashida Tlaib defended El-Sayed, saying, “Obviously he’s not a terrorist.” Discussing questions about his reported dual citizenship, Tlaib said, “I don’t know why that matters,” and attributed voters’ objections to “his faith and his ethnicity.”
“If they’re from freaking Europe and stuff and they got like, French passport, nobody gives a shit,” she said. “But because he’s got an Egyptian one, everybody gives a shit,” Tlaib added, contrasting the scrutiny with the treatment of European passport holders.
However, El-Sayed’s campaign disputes that he holds Egyptian citizenship, saying his earlier claim was mistaken and based on information from relatives. How voters react to this is yet to be seen.
