Kilmeade Defends Abdul El-Sayed, Promotes 'Uniting the States' Book

Oct 16, 2026 •Politics

Brian Kilmeade sat down with 'Fox & Friends First' to tackle the swirling controversy surrounding Abdul El-Sayed, the Michigan Senate candidate. The issue centers on claims that his family has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. El-Sayed pushed back hard against these allegations during his appearance, firmly denying any such connections. Meanwhile, social media posts from his sister have been used by critics to fuel the debate over his background and affiliations. Kilmeade took a moment to pivot toward a different project: he promoted his latest book, 'Uniting the States.' That work looks at specific historical moments that helped shape the American identity. The segment aired live starting at 10:00 AM Eastern time on this morning. Viewers tuned in to see how Kilmeade balanced the analysis of El-Sayed's denials with a broader discussion about national unity found within his new publication.
