Embracing blatant Islamophobia, CBS News makes bizarre attempt to tie El-Sayed to 9/11

CBS News published an August 31 article linking Democratic Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed with the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the latest example of the news organization’s rightward shift under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. In reality, El-Sayed's comments, which he made on social media, were sober and well within the bounds of typical political discourse.

I'm not one to support frivolous lawfare, and this certainly isn't an example of that. Abdul needs to take these ghouls to the fucking cleaners. These corporate media shitheads need to be held accountable for these disgusting smear tactics

I wonder what the Epstein files say about 9/11.
