Newt Gingrich Defends Bachmann about Muslim Brotherhood and Huma Abedin (video)
Let us be clear. Huma Abadin is not under allegation. Her brother is a big shot in the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood (her mother is also a prominent figure) and has stated that the pyramids and such in Egypt should be blown up because they are idols and he says that all Christians are mentally ill - LINK [Note - the source for this is Walid Shoebat who is an Arab Palestinian so claims that this is some sort of racist play is nonsense - Editor]. The Muslim Brotherhood wants Sharia Law through any means, be it an election, or take over by force in Jihad. They say so when speaking in their native language, but in English they talk about peace, love and social justice.
Why does it matter who her brother is? Because, according to security regulations which have been in place for decades, if you have had contact with an enemy or sworn enemy of an ally your security clearance is limited. The greater the contact the greater the limits. For national security reasons conflicts of interests have to be nipped in the bud. The question is, and this is just one question asked, why was she not properly vetted?
By the way, notice how agitated and hostile the clearly biased reporter from Politico is. This is just a single example of many why Politico has not well respected as a news organization.
Andrew C. McCarthy has two very informative articles on this issue that should be read before anyone can have a truly informed opinion on this issue:
Questions about Huma Abedin: A State Department adviser has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood - LINK
Huma Abedin’s Muslim Brotherhood Ties: Michele Bachmann has every right to ask questions - LINK
Note: Frank Gaffney and John Bolton also agree - LINK and the Center for Security Policy has a piece on this issue HERE.
