AMERICA UNDER ATTACK! Five Senate Democrats skipped Ted Cruz's hearing on the Muslim Brotherhood's plan to infiltrate the United States!!! On Aug. 5, Sen. Ted Cruz gaveled in “Hidden in Plain Sight: Confronting the Muslim Brotherhood Network in America.” The chairs on the Democrat side stayed empty. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, Alex Padilla of California, and Peter Welch of Vermont had already called the session a “political creepshow” meant to “scapegoat” Muslims. Cruz told the empty dais, “The American people should ask themselves why not a single member of the minority decided that a hearing on terr*orism was worth their time. It is an embarrassment.” Witnesses walked through the 1991 Explanatory Memorandum, the Brotherhood’s “civilization-jihadist process,” and the 2025 ISGAP findings on entry into schools, government, and activist groups. Cruz asked whether Brotherhood-linked networks partner with the Democratic Socialists of America. Counterterrorism analyst Kyle Shideler said yes, around “a revolutionary objective advocating for the overthrow of the U.S. Constitution.” Cruz put it this way: the Brotherhood and “DSA communists” share hatred of America, Israel, capitalism, and the Constitution. That is the map these five refused to look at. Whitehouse, the subcommittee’s ranking Democrat, signed the boycott and has joined colleagues on two-state and arms-restriction votes that CAIR treats as movement wins. Blumenthal signed the same boycott. In December 2021 he spoke at the Connecticut People’s World Committee Amistad Awards, a Communist Party USA affiliate event where the emcee invited the room to “join the Communist Party” and “create a new socialist system.” Blumenthal later said he thought it was “strictly a labor event.” “If I had known the details, I wouldn’t have gone.” Hirono signed the boycott and has been in the bloc backing Sanders-led efforts to restrict arms to Israel. Padilla signed the boycott. He has pushed the NO BAN Act against nationality-based travel limits. CAIR-SFBA staged a sit-in at his San Francisco building under “Padilla: Stop Funding Genocide.” CAIR-CA later blasted him when he would not go far enough on cutting Israel aid. Welch signed the boycott. He introduced a Senate resolution framing anti-Palestinian hate after the 2023 Burlington shooting and has moved with Vermont’s Sanders-aligned left on Israel funding fights. Cruz tied the empty chairs to Michigan the night before, when DSA-aligned Democrat Abdul El-Sayed won his Senate primary. Shideler testified that El-Sayed’s rise showed the Brotherhood network “normalize support for Hamas.” National security is not optional. Demand these five explain why a hearing on a designated foreign terr*rist network was a “creepshow.” #MuslimBrotherhood #Senate
