Beck, Limbaugh Defend Bachmann’s Muslim Brotherhood Inquiry as GOP Leaders Turn on Her

Michele Bachmanns Inquiry into the Muslim Brotherhood and Huma Abedin Has Republicans Divided

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s (R-Minn.) joint inquiry into the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States government has done more than irritate the usual suspects like Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) or the Council on American-Islamic Relations — it is creating a rift within the conservative ranks.

Prominent Republicans like Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.), Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), and Senator Scott Brown (R-Mass.) have all come out slamming Bachmann in the strongest of terms. Politico reports that fellow Republicans “have their knives out” for the congresswoman, and across the spectrum there are calls for everything from an apology to a revocation of her position on the House Intelligence Committee.

Meanwhile, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich have come to Bachmann’s defense, saying there is nothing wrong with asking tough questions in the interest of national security.

Much of the controversy centers around Bachmann’s questions regarding Huma Abedin, the deputy chief of staff to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and wife of disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner.  Bachmann, along with Trent Franks (R-AZ), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Tom Rooney (R-FL) and Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA), co-signed a letter to the State Department asking whether the aide had received proper vetting before she was given access to sensitive information– but Bachmann was the only one to send a16-page follow-up with 59 footnotes when pressed on the matter.

(Related: Want to Know Just How Close the Muslim Brotherhood Is to the Obama Admin?)

McCain called the questioning “unjust” and referred to Abedin as ”what is best about America.“ Speaker Boehner called the inquiries ”pretty dangerous,” and Chairman Rogers said: “That kind of assertion certainly doesn’t comport with the Intelligence Committee, and I can say that on the record.”  Scott Brown added that “Rep. Bachmann’s accusations about Sec. Clinton aide Huma Abedin are out-of-line,“ and that ”this kind of rhetoric has no place in our public discourse.”

On the other side of the debate, Glenn Beck maintains that Bachmann is doing exactly what a member of the House Intelligence Committee should be doing, noting on his show this morning that “Michele Bachmann is not making this standard up.”

He read: “It is official government policy.  Under the heading of ‘Potentially Disqualifying Conditions for a Security Clearance,’ contact with a foreign family member that could present a heightened risk of foreign exploitation,” is explicitly listed.

Watch the entire explanation, below:

Rush Limbaugh made a similar point on his Monday show:

“The Muslim Brother is not a harmless little offshoot here…They’re not the mainstream where the others are the kooks. They’re all together. Bachmann’s inquiry is justified, and there’s no reason to tar and feather her.  It’s a legitimate question to want to know if one of Hillary Clinton’s top aides poses a national security threat … That’s all they’re asking and McCain and the Republican establishment in the Senate went to the floor to trash Bachmann.”

Even Newt Gingrich backed up the congresswoman, asking what those who are attacking Bachmann are so “afraid” of learning.

“There weren’t allegations, there was a question,” Gingrich said, adding that such questions ought to be asked “across the board.”

Neither Speaker Boehner nor Rep. Bachmann were available for comment, and neither were the offices of the four other congressmen who signed the letters inquiring into the Muslim Brotherhood, all of whom seem to have avoided much of the vitriol currently aimed at Bachmann.

Which leaves many asking: Why is the GOP so clearly turning on one of its own in an election year, particularly over a case like this?

The Washington Post Tuesday offered four reasons.  First, Bachmann simply has greater national profile after running for president, and her words are now held to a different standard.  Second, a chain reaction began when John McCain, in particular, took to the Senate floor to attack a fellow Republican.  Third, Bachmann simply messed with the wrong woman in Washington, since Abedin seemingly has many powerful friends.  Fourth, the “seriousness of the charge,” that Abedin may pose a security threat, is just too ridiculous for Bachmann’s fellow Republicans to defend.

So far, no confirmation of Huma Abedin’s background check has been released, and Bachman’s questions with four other congressmen into U.S. connections to the Muslim Brotherhood have been demeaned, rather than answered.  What is clear that Bachmann is receiving isolated heat for questions she asked with a number of congressmen, and the GOP is turning on itself over this issue.

    I Commend Bachman!! BUT, Before Bachman, Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage Etc all the heavy weights on the Conservative side this guy was yelling from the rooftops. Read The Project, it’s been posted for three years now… http://www.howieunveilsgodsshield.com/The-Project.html The Plan To Infiltrate communities, city politics, state politics, and national politics has been an agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood since the early 80′s. They have infiltrated political systems across the globe for decades, however, the last 5 years they have really stepped it up within America.

    We are at war with Islam, They declared War on us, we acknowledged and declared War on them, however, our politics is getting in the way. They are winning. Everyone must read “The Project” Also Read about the Muslim Brotherhood here: http://www.howieunveilsgodsshield.com/MuslimBrotherhood.html They are at war with western civilization and Bachman has awoken to the reality of the situation, WE ARE IN TROUBLE!!!

      Thank you RoberBris,
      You are right on target! I have been a college professor for nearly 7 years now and I have studied homeland security and terrorism extensively. The Muslim Brotherhood is, most probably, the the greatest threat to the American way of life that exists today. The most frustrating aspect is that the MB are so open and honest about their method of Civilization Jihad to destroy the West from within, yet if you mention that, you are either paranoid or a bigot…If this country does not wake up to what is currently happening and just around the corner, I fear that it may be too late… Here is another great site that discussed the MB in great detail…
      http://muslimbrotherhoodinamerica.com/
      With that, I also emailed Speaker Boehner this morning to give him my 2 cents as well. I recommend that everyone do the same. At some point, they will begin to listen…
      God Bless everyone,

      Islam was deployed by radical communism in 1979 as a tool by the oligarchs as part of a long range plan of deception. Begun in the supreme soviet cabinet in 1958 by Nikita Kruschev. In 1991 the wall in Berlin came down. Only a wall of concrete and steel. Why would millions of hardline Marxist’s quit overnight? They were in control. Russian citizens do not own weapons like Americans. So a bunch of KGB and GRU thugs in absolute power, just give up. Maybe in a utopian dream. Obama is in charge of writing into law the undoing of the west, as he was bred to do, and educated to do. Treason.

    I agree whole-heartedly with Bachmann. She is doing her job in light of the recent white house security leaks. Keep it up! In addition if she was vetted (don’t hold ur breath) then why not release this info Dems? This is serious business! If I were to apply for a certain job at a place called DFAS Columbus, OH, a top security clearance is required. This is just for a contractor supporting their systems….so why wasn’t Abedin vetted properly? Give me a break people!!!

    Not to worry. The Muslim Brotherhood is a mostly sechular organization. We all know that.

    She must have ticked someone in their elite social circles. Or, the RINOs want to replace her with one of their own.

    McCain? Thank you for your service. Good bye.

    John McCain, John Boehner, Mike Rogers, Scott Brown and MARCO RUBIO have all come out against Michelle Bachman‘s inquiry into the Muslim Brotherhood’s infiltration into this administration.

    I believe Bachman’s questions need serious answers not a write off by scared politicians. The Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization whose members are welcomed into our White House. They are not America’s friends and Huma Abedin has too many family ties to this organization to be ignored.

      McCAIN THE INSANE

      These RINOs made deals with Democrats for safe seats. They will not challenge the Democrats for the White House if they are guaranteed a seat at the table of power next to the Black Caucus.

      Vladimir Putin was right about McCain being insane.

      @ Muffy,

      Did you vote for McCain in 2008? Did you think he was as bad then or did he just get worse in the last 4 years? If you thought he was bad then, why did you vote for him? If you think he just got worse in the last 4 years what specifically is different now than 4 years ago?

      @ MOMRULES

      I TOTALLY agree with you!

      McCain handed over HIS OWN ELECTION TO OBAMA –
      ANYTIME Obama needs to humiliate or kick a BUTT –
      he has his ole’ standby,McCain ALWAYS available –
      and McCain automatically bends over and takes it – GRINNING!
      He AND Boehner need to go.

      We MUST support Michelle Bachmann on this.
      Everyone should Call, Email or whatever can be done on this matter.

      P.S.
      Romney better watch his back in dealing with Turn-Coat McCain.
      I’ve thought that for a while now.

    I always knew that Boehner and McCain don’t care about our country and are in it for the money. They didn’t start off that way but as time went on, their spinelessness shows their corruption. It would be good if there were some senators will balls that would come to her defense instead of being wimpy useless politians.

Romney like Michelle has a strong faith which is why I truly believe he will be vigilant against Islamic extremism if elected president.

She would have to be the kind of person who gives a crap about anybody but herself to refrain from antics that will earn the contempt of the rational and bring disgrace upon her party, but might play well with the people who were dumb enough to elect her in the first place.

      The timing was triggered by the White House allowing a member of a known terrorist organization to sit in on a National Security Council meeting and protest for the Blind Sheik who was responsible for the 1993 WTC bombing to go free. With Michele knowing that there is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood on the Department of Homeland Security that downloaded confidential files on his home computer in Texas that she and Louie Gohmert are still trying to get answers from Janet Napolitano on and with the security leaks coming out of the administration, she had no choice but to question at this time if all of the persons with top security clearances that have ties to Muslim Brotherhood and other terrorist organizations were properly vetted. As a member of the Intelligence Committee, it is her job to ask questions to protect us. This administration has had all reference to Islam purged from military and police manuals. Obama made the comment that America would never be at war with Islam and he has said he will stand with Islam against America.
