Trump cited journalist Laura Loomer's 2017 reporting on Abdul El-Sayed at recent rallies, alleging El-Sayed signed a pledge to a designated terrorist organization with Muslim Brotherhood ties.

Loomer claims Obama knew of these alleged connections yet campaigned for El-Sayed in Detroit this weekend. Obama also endorsed Angie Nixon, whose bookstore Loomer says displays images of convicted cop killers.

Loomer warns that if Democrats win in 2026 despite these allegations being public, the party could field even more controversial candidates in 2028.
