RFK Jr. Criticizes the Muslim Brotherhood in Michigan

As the election season nears its conclusion, candidates across the nation are energetically engaging with voters. Recently, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made a strong push for the GOP in Michigan.

On Monday, RFK Jr. joined forces with gubernatorial candidate John James and Senate hopeful Mike Rogers during a campaign event in Grand Rapids, aimed at rallying support in what is shaping up to be a highly visible Senate race.

During his speech, RFK Jr. took aim at the Muslim Brotherhood, labeling it as a “death cult” that promotes “murder and genocide,” which he argues leads to the deterioration of societies under its influence.

He remarked, “There are 500 million Arabs in the world, yet they don’t produce scientific achievements or win Nobel Prizes… They don’t contribute to literature. All of that was obliterated by the Muslim Brotherhood, resulting in stagnant societies,” he claimed.

In stark contrast, he highlighted the positive contributions of traditional Islam, noting, “It birthed art, literature, science, and engineering—cultures that had been tolerant, pluralistic, and cosmopolitan for a millennium.”

While some in the media responded with counterexamples of Arab achievements in culture, they seemed to overlook his central argument about the negative impact of the Muslim Brotherhood on society.

RFK Jr. went further, stating that the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence fosters “hatred, war, and victimization.” He added that the Middle East wasn’t always dominated by Islam, recalling that many countries in the region were predominantly Christian—Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, to name a few—before a significant decline in their Christian populations, which he described as genocide.

“The only people they say ‘our goal is not genocide’ are those in the West who are misled,” he asserted.

Democrat opponent Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, also known as Abdul El-Sayed, has faced allegations of extremism, including unverified claims of connections to the Muslim Brotherhood, which he has consistently denied.

Polling indicates that El-Sayed is currently favored over Mike Rogers by a narrow margin of 2.6 points with only a week to go before the general election.

Vice President JD Vance recently appeared in Howell, Michigan, to support Rogers, marking his involvement in another closely watched Senate race this election cycle.
