Former CIA targeter says Muslim Brotherhood has quietly built political influence in the U.S.
Former CIA analyst Sarah Adams told Rufo & Lomez that the Muslim Brotherhood has spent decades embedding itself in American politics, funding candidates and infiltrating local groups.
During a recent episode of Rufo & Lomez, former CIA targeter Sarah Adams warned that the Muslim Brotherhood has quietly built a network of influence in the United States over many years. According to Adams, the organization channels large sums of money to political candidates and embeds operatives in universities, religious bodies, chambers of commerce and other community groups, making its reach hard to detect. She compared the Brotherhood’s strategy to that of China, emphasizing that many of its front groups carry innocuous names such as the Saudi American Friendship Society.
The hosts cited a headline suggesting that Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed received Brotherhood financing, but Adams stressed that most local activists are unaware of these ties. Overall, she described the infiltration as a long-term, complex effort that remains largely invisible to the American public.
Why it matters
If true, hidden foreign influence could shape U.S. policy and elections without public awareness.
