shouting out at an Abdul Al-Sayed rally, do you renounce the Muslim Brotherhood? To which Al-Sayed responded, of course I do.
But then he engaged this, you know, this clear, like, wannabe Charlie Kirk in a dialogue.
I would have, like, cursed the guy out if I was Al Sayed I would have maybe run at the guy I don't know what I would have done it would have went viral for other reasons besides Al Sayed deftly handling that question and then turning it on this again you know Charlie Kirk wannabe or whatever you know right wing oh look at me I'm a white right wing star he wants to be you know interviewed by Hannity whatever um He turned it on him.
He's like, well, why are you asking me, of all the people you know, if I renounce the Muslim Brotherhood? And he went on to say, I'm going to pledge an oath to the Constitution of the United States.
Because when JFK ran to become a Catholic president, he was often asked if he would have allegiance to the Pope.
And JFK said, I am running to be president who is Catholic, not a Catholic president.
I would have probably, you know, I would have, I'm sure he gets that question all the time, right? And I have been in a situation where I've run for office, where I've gotten similar questions, not questions like that, but questions all the time that have driven me insane.
where people would always tell me, oh, we love everything about you, but you know, we're staunchly Republican and we only vote Republican.
And that would drive me nuts, especially since they were people who I believe should be voting Democrat.
I ran, uh, when I was 22 years old, I ran for an office where the office holder had been in office for 20 years, but died shortly before the nominating convention.
And I would, you know, go to meet the candidates nights and my opponents would not show up and I would talk to everybody in the room and I would stay for hours.
And you know, then I'd have coffee and donuts with people at the end and people would come up to me and thank me for being there and tell me how much they enjoyed my presentation and tell me why they were not voting for me because they couldn't do it to this iconic lawmaker who had passed.
One time after hearing it for like, you know, probably the hundredth time on the campaign trail, I said, she's not on the ballot.
