During a portion of an interview aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of “NBC Nightly News,” Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed responded to posts from his half-sister about his family’s relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood by saying that “We have no ties.” And “I have never had these conversations with my mother.” And “you’re using hearsay evidence from a tweet.” He also stated that “she’s not serious, it’s just not serious.”
