Conservative Attorney May Mailman humiliates Harvard University fellow Charles Blow when he tries to defend Abdul El-Sayed on CNN. Credit: CNN screenshotAn infamous former New York Times columnist and current Harvard University fellow was left red-faced earlier this week after trying to defend Muslim Marxist Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s alleged ties to terrorists. As The Gateway Pundit reported, El-Sayed recently appeared on Meet the Press and was asked if he or anyone in his family has connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. His answer was a flat no.But NBC News later engaged in actual journalism and confronted El-Sayed about tweets from his sister and other family members that appear to suggest a family connection to the organization.El-Sayed did not appreciate the line of questions.On Thursday’s edition of CNN Newsnight, Charles Blow, a Langston Hughes Fellow at Harvard University and former opinion columnist for The New York Times, got into a spat with conservative attorney May Mailman while trying to defend El-Sayed over the reported terror ties.But he quickly made a major mistake when he demanded that Mailman disown President Trump while trying to defend El-Sayed’s comments on NBC. Mailman responded by easily swatting the effort aside with just one simple question: Is Trump’s parent a terrorist?This caused some of the panelists to erupt in laughter, which annoyed Blow.WATCH:Insane: Charles Blow on CNN NewsNight defends Abdul El-Sayed’s ties to terrorists and terrorism. https://t.co/sELtuH646A— Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) October 16, 2026BLOW: Involvement with any type of connection to a terrorist group is a problem.
