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.
James was undeterred by Brennan's feigned ignorance and continued to call out who his Democratic rivals were getting in bed with, while Brennan :
JAMES: Yeah, they're campaigning with extremists, who say that America deserved 9/11. And I think that coming up on the 25th anniversary--
BRENNAN: Uh-huh
JAMES: Of 9-11, these are statements that are way out of bounds and should definitely be clarified. Michigan is ground zero for this Republic in this next election.
BRENNAN: Yeah.
JAMES: And we need to make sure that we stop socialism and that we save the state of Michigan--
BRENNAN: Okay
JAMES: Because if we don't do it here, it's gonna go to the rest of the country.
Brennan would then continue down the disgraceful path that she chose, by again refusing to utter El-Sayed's name and exonerating Piker, and putting in on James for trying to confuse people and take the spotlight off himself:
Okay. I think you're talking about a supporter of a Senate candidate, that Senate candidate has started to distance himself from and that influencer, Hasan Piker has disavowed those past comments he made. But let's put that aside, cause I don't want to get into that, I want to talk about you.
And with that, Brennan made sure no further damage would be done to El-Sayed and the radical leftist Democrat party. She then moved on to James's military service, the war with Iran, the U.S. trade war with Canada, and data centers.
If you didn't know what show you were watching, or who Margaret Brennan is, you'd be excused if you thought you had happened upon a training session for Democrat operatives. The lesson of the course was how to protect your party by steering away from controversial issues.
Whatever it was that Brennan was doing during this interview, it most certainly was not journalism. Even by conventional left wing media standards it was quite shameful!
