AOC Slams Muslim Brotherhood Claims Against Abdul El-Sayed as Racist | TMZ

Alex. Hey, how's it going, Charlie? I had a feeling I'd find you at a Culver's. So this is my first time here. Is that right? How was it? My life has changed. Is that right? My life has changed. So I walked in overwhelmed at what I saw. Seafood, burgers. And I was like, this is my first time here. What do I do? And they're like, this is your first time here. Where are you from? I was like, I'm from New York. They didn't recognize you? No, no, no, no. Which is great. Norma, Norma, amazing. We love Norma. Help me out today. Um, and I had some cheese curds and a burger. It was fantastic. Love that. Hey, I know you're on the road stumping for Abdul. Yeah. I want to ask you this on the scale between real and racist, where does this whole Muslim brotherhood thing fit? You know, I think it's, um, I think it, it falls into racist very clearly i think something that is as someone who is familiar with Abdul's story he's talked about this it's a very vulnerable thing because Abdul was you know when Abdul was born his parents separated very shortly afterwards and his uh and his mom left and so he was raised by his dad and so i think sometimes in politics all of this stuff you know things get dug up but sometimes things get dug up that hit very personal things that shape us, you know. My dad died when I was young, things like that. And I think what's hard about this is that people are, you know, throwing really painful and insulting and racist stuff around. But it also hits on, you know, a little boy in Detroit that grew up without his mom. And it's really hard to have that used and spread all over the place in that way. What you're saying is it doesn't define him. Right, it doesn't define Abdul at all. I mean like I said how many of us have had a family member that has either dealt with addiction or gotten in trouble or what have you and they are distant or estranged or what have you and that has nothing to do with you as a person. Right. All of us grow up up and you know some people stay close with sibling or family some people will grow up without them and the fact of the matter none of this has to do with Abdul and if you take any person and zoom out far enough with every person that they've known or grown up with of course you're gonna find whatever you're gonna find and I I just think it's it's just got nothing to do with him you know he's he's one of the most patriotic people I've ever met right yeah thank Thank you very much. Of course. Thank you. Is this Norma? This is Norma. Yeah, she came out. And this is my boss. This is the owner. This is Brian. How you doing? That's his name on the door. Thank you for coming in. Oh my gosh. Yes. Hello. Hi. How are you doing? Welcome to Michigan. Thank you. Thank you so much for coming. We appreciate it. Yeah. Well, everything was fantastic. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you. Norma is great. Do you want me to take it for you? Yes. Well, you're going to use your phone and then you can use my phone. I'm a professional.
