"In explosive testimony Tuesday, a witness before a Senate panel about Islamic terrorism accused the two Muslim members of Congress of having attended an event organized by the Muslim Brotherhood.
The charge was leveled by Chris Gaubatz, a national security consultant who has moonlighted as an undercover agitator of Muslim groups that he accuses of being terrorist outfits, and it was directed at Reps. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) and André Carson (D-Ind.). At the heart of his accusation is the attendance by those two members at a 2008 convention hosted by the Islamic Society of North America a Muslim umbrella group, which Gaubatz claims is a front for the Muslim Brotherhood."

I have two questions:
1. Is it a front for the Muslim Brotherhood?
2. If it is a front for the Muslim Brotherhood, were the Congress persons aware of that?

(92,061 posts)I know what Ted Cruz is. I never heard of this Chris Gaubatz
Why am I asking, because I suspect our illustrious media, and the anti-Muslim trump will be throwing this around, and it would be good to know what is what, in order to counter it

"Chris Gaubatz, the witness who denounced Reps. Keith Ellison (D-MN) and André Carson (D-IN), is a second-generation specialist in evidence fabrication, bigoted smears, and deranged narratives aimed at stoking anti-Muslim sentiment."
