Why Abdul el Sayed won’t denounce the Muslim Brotherhood
NBC News’s Meet the Press host Kristen Welker kept insisting on Sunday that Abdul el Sayed, Michigan’s Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, had denounced the Muslim Brotherhood. I was flabbergasted. How could I have missed such major news?
TL;DR

- The author differentiates between disavowal (distancing oneself) and denunciation (condemnation).
