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.
The post was for those not watching, to reinforce what they’re supposed to believe, supported by short clips that remove the context.
I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull’s a**, but I’d rather take a butcher’s word for it.

That’s both factually inacorrect and a bad time for all involved.
Highly recommend watching the actual video. CBS person clearly didn’t actually watch the video.
Yeah yeah, cnn is trash. It’s got no paywall and is still the entire video though.

On the contrary, it exemplifies the new CBS News standards perfectly.
