WASHINGTON, July 20 (UPI) -- U.S. Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., accused Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., of having ties with the Muslim Brotherhood.
Bachmann told a Thursday interview with conservative TV and radio host Glenn Beck she stands behind her earlier statements about Huma Abedin, a top aide to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood through relatives and accused her Minnesota colleague of having similar ties, the Star Tribune newspaper in Minneapolis reported Friday.
