密歇根州格罗斯波因特伍兹市讯 — 德克萨斯州共和党参议员特德·克鲁兹在底特律郊外的一场竞选活动中，试图将民主党候选人阿卜杜勒·赛义德与穆斯林兄弟会联系在一起，而赛义德已多次否认这一说法。
“我给这家伙起的外号是‘圣战主义小妖精’，”克鲁兹在谈及赛义德时说道。
克鲁兹后来声称，如果赛义德当选美国参议员，他将获得最高级别安全许可，还声称赛义德可能会进入参议院情报委员会，“如果我对他是穆斯林兄弟会的狂热支持者这一点判断正确，那么美国人极有可能因此丧命。”
暗示赛义德与穆斯林兄弟会存在关联，是共和党提名候选人迈克·罗杰斯在这场预计将势均力敌的密歇根州参议院竞选收尾阶段的核心议题。该组织的一些分支在2026年1月被特朗普政府列为恐怖组织。
赛义德近日在接受福克斯新闻采访时表示：“我从未加入过穆斯林兄弟会，将来也绝不会加入。”
赛义德及其竞选团队对这些指控予以谴责，称其是针对赛义德的“带有偏见的反穆斯林抹黑运动”，并表示这是共和党试图转移选民对经济不满情绪的手段。本月早些时候的一场市政厅会议上，赛义德“坚决”否认与穆斯林兄弟会有关。
CBS新闻在周三向赛义德竞选团队发言人科尔·沃兹尼亚克核实克鲁兹的言论时，他表示：“特德·克鲁兹是一位极不受欢迎的政客，长期以来一直支持损害密歇根州家庭的政策，包括投票削减数十万密歇根人的医疗保障。”
“他的危险言论只是迈克·罗杰斯及其MAGA盟友最新的举动，试图转移选民的注意力，让他们忽略由于特朗普政府的失败政策，汽油、食品杂货以及所有其他商品的价格都已飙升的事实，”沃兹尼亚克补充道。
共和党提出的这些指控，主要依据是赛义德同父异母的妹妹法滕·埃尔科米在2012年和2013年发布的帖子。她称，两人的生母在20世纪70年代初就读大学期间，曾活跃于埃及的穆斯林兄弟会。出生在美国的赛义德表示，他的父母在他3岁时就离婚了，他是由继母抚养长大的。他还补充说，他尚未就母亲几十年前的参与情况与其交谈，而当时美国还未将该组织列入恐怖组织名单。
周三，克鲁兹还指出了赛义德担任密歇根大学穆斯林学生协会分会主席的经历，以及他在2011年撰写的一篇支持抗议埃及独裁者穆巴拉克的专栏文章。在阿拉伯之春抗议期间，时任总统巴拉克·奥巴马呼吁穆巴拉克下台。
克鲁兹和罗杰斯还提到，赛义德在2012年当医学生时签署了一封公开信，支持时任埃及总统穆罕默德·穆尔西。穆尔西是代表穆斯林兄弟会政治翼的埃及首位民选领导人，他曾“清洗”媒体和警察中穆巴拉克独裁统治的支持者。奥巴马政府一直与穆尔西政府保持接触，直到2013年7月埃及军方将其罢免。
2012年担任国会议员的罗杰斯曾表示，“美国必须与温和派的穆斯林兄弟会成员打交道”，但补充说“我们必须密切关注。”在国会任职期间，罗杰斯投票支持继续资助由穆尔西领导的埃及。
上周日，NBC记者问罗杰斯此事时，他表示希望与埃及情报部门保持美国与该国的关系，“而穆斯林兄弟会正试图破坏这种关系。”
穆斯林兄弟会目前在包括埃及、沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国在内的多个中东国家被禁止。周二晚上，当记者问及他是否担心卡塔尔赠送的空军一号（因卡塔尔向穆斯林兄弟会提供资金和政治支持）时，罗杰斯回避了问题，转而表达对卡塔尔对美国大学资助的担忧。
当被问及为何将竞选收尾的焦点放在赛义德生母在20世纪70年代与穆斯林兄弟会的关联上（远在美国将其列为恐怖组织之前）时，罗杰斯的竞选团队表示，该组织“秉持与美国意识形态直接对立的理念”。竞选团队还强调，赛义德在NBC新闻采访中表示与该组织没有关联，当时关于其生母过去参与活动的新闻尚未传开。
赛义德认为，共和党正试图暗示，如果他当选，他将对美国和其他国家“怀有双重忠诚”。
“我的母亲和妹妹都不参选公职。我才是参选的那个人。请以我的行动和工作来评判我，但请不要因为我祈祷的方式可能与任何曾担任这一职务的人不同，就认为我对这部宪法不够忠诚，”赛义德10月16日在密歇根州马奎特说道。
在活动结束后被问及是否认为赛义德会有双重忠诚时，克鲁兹含糊其辞。
“我不知道双重忠诚是怎么回事。他所表现出的忠诚是属于穆斯林兄弟会的，”克鲁兹告诉记者。“他试图说，‘我怎么祈祷并不重要。’我同意。他怎么祈祷并不重要。我不是在说他怎么祈祷。我是在说意识形态，以及倡导和支持恐怖组织。”
随着选举日临近，密歇根州以外的共和党人加大了对赛义德的反穆斯林攻击力度，特朗普总统在周末将这位民主党候选人称为“穆斯林兄弟会的圣战主义成员”。
克鲁兹还声称，如果赛义德当选，其核心支持者、进步派众议员亚历山大·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯将成为2028年民主党总统候选人。“对于那些认为‘嗯，如果他们提名AOC，意味着共和党在2028年会赢’的人，我只想提醒你们，我们的国家是分裂的。2001年9月11日，有多少人能想象佐兰·马姆达尼会成为纽约市市长？”
“听着，如果AOC是提名人，她是可以获胜的，”克鲁兹说道。
在此次活动中，赛义德的对手迈克·罗杰斯重复了前一晚的言论，称密歇根州的这场竞选是“全国最重要的竞选”。
“整个国家都在等着我们把这件事办好，”他说。“社会主义与穆斯林兄弟会的意识形态结合……他想要代表巴勒斯坦，我想要代表密歇根。”
周二晚上，当被问及为何将此作为竞选收尾一周的重点时，罗杰斯声称赛义德在与穆斯林兄弟会关联的问题上撒谎。
“当你在生死攸关的事情上不能说实话时，我认为你没有任何资格进入美国参议院，人们需要知道这一点，”罗杰斯说道。
密歇根州参议院竞选是全国最受关注的竞选之一。这个长期以来的民主党票仓在2016年和2024年投票支持了特朗普，但在2024年选举了民主党人埃莉莎·斯洛特金进入参议院。CBS新闻的战场追踪将这场竞选评为势均力敌。

Ted Cruz calls Abdul El-Sayed a “jihadist leprechaun,” as GOP closing message leans into attacks
October 28, 2026 / 2:52 PM EDT / CBS News
Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan — At a campaign event outside of Detroit, GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas attempted to tie Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood — a claim El-Sayed has repeatedly denied.
“My nickname for the guy is the jihadist leprechaun,” Cruz said about El-Sayed.
Cruz later said that El-Sayed would get top-level security clearance as a U.S. Senator if elected, claiming that El-Sayed could be put on the Senate Intelligence Committee, “and if I am correct that he is a passionate supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, there is a very real risk that Americans will die as a result.”
The insinuation El-Sayed has ties with the Muslim Brotherhood has been a core part of the closing message for Republican nominee Mike Rogers in what is expected to be a razor-tight Senate race in Michigan. Some branches of the group were designated as a terrorist organization by the Trump administration in January.
El-Sayed said in a recent interview with Fox News: “I have never been a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, I never will be a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.”
El-Sayed and his campaign have condemned the claims, describing them as “a bigoted anti-Muslim smear campaign” against El-Sayed and portraying them as an effort by Republicans to distract from voter frustration with the economy. At a town hall earlier this month, El-Sayed said he “absolutely” disavows the Muslim Brotherhood.
When told by CBS News about Cruz’s comments on Wednesday, El-Sayed campaign spokesperson Cole Wozniak said, “Ted Cruz is a deeply unpopular politician who has long supported policies that hurt Michigan families, including voting to cut healthcare for hundreds of thousands of Michiganders.”
“His dangerous comments are just the latest example of Mike Rogers and his MAGA allies attempting to distract voters from the fact that the price of gas, groceries, and everything else has skyrocketed due to the failed policies of the Trump administration,” Wozniak added.
The GOP claims mainly arose after posts from El-Sayed’s half-sister, Fatten Elkomy, in 2012 and 2013, where she said their birthmother had been active in the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt during the early 1970s when she was in college. El-Sayed, who was born in the U.S., has said his parents divorced when he was 3 years old, and he was brought up by his stepmother. He has added that he has not talked to his birthmother about her past involvement with the group, decades before the U.S. added it to its list of proscribed terrorist organizations.
On Wednesday, Cruz also pointed to El-Sayed’s role as president with the Muslim Students’ Association chapter at the University of Michigan, and a 2011 op-ed he wrote supporting protests against Egyptian dictator Mubarak, who then-President Barack Obama called on to step down during the Arab Spring protests.
Cruz and Rogers also noted an open letter El-Sayed signed when he was a medical student in 2012 in support of then-Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, Egypt’s first democratically elected leader who represented the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, and Morsi’s “purge” of supporters of the Mubarak dictatorship within the media and police. The Obama administration had engaged with the Morsi government until the Egyptian military removed him from power in July 2013.
As a congressman in 2012, Rogers said “there are moderate Muslim Brotherhood members the U.S will have to talk to” but added “we are going to have to watch it carefully. While in Congress, Rogers voted for legislation that continued funding for Egypt while the country was led by Morsi.
Asked about it by NBC last Sunday, Rogers said he wanted to try and maintain U.S. relationships with intelligence services in Egypt “that the Muslim Brotherhood was trying to undo.”
The Muslim Brotherhood is currently banned in several Middle Eastern countries including Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Asked Tuesday night by reporters if he has concerns about the Qatari-gifted Air Force One, given that Qatar provides financial and political support to the Muslim Brotherhood, Rogers deflected and voiced concern about Qatari funding in U.S. colleges.
Asked why his closing message has been focused on El-Sayed’s birthmother’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1970s, well before their designated terrorist group status, the Rogers campaign said the group “stands for ideologies directly in contrast with American ideologies.” The campaign also highlighted when El-Sayed told NBC News he has no ties to the group, before news of his birthmother’s past activism spread.
El-Sayed has argued Republicans are trying to suggest he’d have “dual loyalties” to the U.S. and another country if he’s elected.
“My mom and my sister are not running for office. I’m running for office. Judge me by my actions and my work, but please do not assume that because I might pray differently than anybody who’s ever held this office, that somehow I am not deeply committed to this Constitution,” El-Sayed said in Marquette, Michigan, on Oct. 16.
Asked after the event if he believes El-Sayed would have dual loyalties, Cruz demurred.
“I don’t know about dual loyalties. The demonstrated loyalties he has are to the Muslim Brotherhood,” Cruz told reporters. “He tries to say, ‘It doesn’t matter how I pray.’ I agree. It doesn’t matter how he prays. I’m not talking about how he prays. I’m talking about ideology and advocating for and supporting a terrorist organization.”
Republicans outside of Michigan have escalated anti-Muslim attacks against El-Sayed as Election Day draws closer, with President Trump over the weekend referring to the Democratic candidate as a “jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member.”
Cruz also claimed that if El-Sayed wins, progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a top El-Sayed supporter, would be the Democratic nominee for president in 2028. “For those who think, ‘Well, good, if they nominate AOC, that means Republicans win in 28.’ I just want to warn you, we’re a divided country. How many people on September 11, 2001, could have possibly imagined that Zohran Mamdani would be the mayor of New York City?”
“Look, if AOC is the nominee, she could win,” Cruz said.
At the event, El-Sayed’s opponent, Mike Rogers, repeated his remarks from the previous night, calling the Michigan matchup the “most important race in the country.”
“The rest of the country is waiting on us to get this right,” he said. “Socialism married with that Muslim Brotherhood ideology… He wants to represent Palestine, I want to represent Michigan.”
Asked on Tuesday night why he’s making this a focus for his campaign in the closing week, Rogers claimed El-Sayed is a liar about having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
“When you can’t tell the truth about things that matter on life and death, I just don’t think you have any business being in the United States Senate, and people need to know that,” Rogers said.
The Michigan Senate race is one of the most-watched races in the country. The longtime Democratic stronghold voted for President Trump in 2016 and 2024, but elected Democrat Elissa Slotkin to the Senate in 2024. CBS News Battleground Tracker rates the race as a toss up.
