CBS reporter apologizes and deletes post praising Abdul El-Sayed heckler Jan Crawford had praised man who asked Democratic candidate whether he would disavow Muslim Brotherhood CBS’s chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford has apologized for and deleted a social media post praising a man who questioned Democratic Michigan US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed about the Muslim Brotherhood during a town hall on Saturday. On Sunday, Crawford, who initially joined CBS in 2009, wrote on X: “Earlier, I tweeted a video from an Abdul El-Sayed town hall. I deleted that tweet because it was a violation of CBS News standards. I apologize.” Crawford’s deleted post had thanked a man named Tommy while also saying: “I had to watch this twice to catch Dr Abdul El-Sayed’s nanosecond, ‘yeah, absolutely,’ response. His subsequent uninterrupted three-minute diatribe proving your exact point is the kind of spectacular self own most [people] only dream about triggering. Congrats.”

    She obviously didn’t watch it. El-Sayed quote eloquently tore Tommy the mouth breather a new neckhole with his answer. Anyone watching the video as Tommy leaves with his tail between his legs knows who won that exchange. Hint: it wasn’t Tommy boy.

    Highly recommend watching the actual video. CBS person clearly didn’t actually watch the video. cnn.com/…/exchange-between-el-sayed-and-audience-… Yeah yeah, cnn is trash. It’s got no paywall and is still the entire video though.
