The Republican party continues their effort to tie El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood. It's worth noting that the Muslim Brotherhood is non-violent organization and even still El-Sayed has no connection to the group. Meanwhile, El-Sayed's opponent Mike Rogers went on Brian Kilmeade's radio program to say that we need to protect those who flew on Jeffrey Epstein's plane but didn't participate in that "other stuff".

Trump rallies North Carolina voters by talking in great deal about the Senator from Ohio, John Husted's ass. Bill Maher and Hollywood power agent Ari Emanuel have a very ill-informed pedantic conversation about the genocide in Palestine.
