Piers Morgan Says Calling El-Sayed a Jihadist Is Like Calling Trump a Nazi Piers Morgan: “Rogers, to me, is the wrong guy to put up against El-Sayed. You’ve got a young, dynamic, progressive guy who’s making Rogers look like an old fuddy-duddy. But I also think he’s been over-demonized. If you constantly call this guy a jihadist terrorist when he’s not, it’s a bit like constantly calling Trump a Nazi when he’s not. It just helps Trump when you do that, and it’s helped El-Sayed.” PBD: “I think the only difference is Trump’s sister never supported the Nazis 12 years ago in a tweet. El-Sayed’s sister 12 years ago tweeted supporting the Muslim Brotherhood. A lot of people in America are slightly uncomfortable with what could happen when your sister and family support the Muslim Brotherhood. What do you say to that?” Piers Morgan: “I just joined CNN when the Arab Spring happened, and a lot of people talked that way about the Muslim Brotherhood at the time. In fact, Mike Rogers, they revealed, had been saying similar things at the time. Do you genuinely believe, Patrick, that Abdul El-Sayed is a jihadist terrorist?” PBD: “I honestly don’t know, because every time he’s been asked, he gets very uncomfortable with it.”
