Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.
Claimant: Mike Rogers (R)
Claim: Abdul El-Sayed “has taken money from groups associated” with the Muslim Brotherhood and from individuals who openly support Hamas, Hezbollah and al-Qaida.
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: Some El-Sayed donors or supporters have documented associations with organizations or individuals connected to Islamist groups, and one supporter publicly referred to Hamas and Hezbollah as “freedom fighters.” However, PolitiFact described the evidence as cherry-picked and found that it did not establish that El-Sayed himself supports those organizations.
