State Dept. Misled Reporters About Meeting with Muslim Brotherhood | Washington Free Beacon

State Dept. Misled Reporters About Meeting with Muslim Brotherhood | Washington Free Beacon

While at the State Department last week, one member of the delegation, a
Brotherhood-aligned judge in Egypt, posed for a picture in which he held up the
Islamic group’s notorious four-finger Rabia symbol, according to his Facebook
page.
 
Psaki went on to say that the Obama administration remains comfortable
entertaining the Brotherhood.
 
“Are you—is the building comfortable with continuing to do business with
this center, this group?” a reporter asked.
 
“Yes. Yes,” Psaki responded.
 
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry condemned the visit and expressed frustration
with the State Department for hosting the Brotherhood-aligned delegation, which
was first reported by the Free Beacon.
 
“These statements are incomprehensible to me, we do not understand that
there will be such a communication with the elements involved in terrorist acts
to intimidate the Egyptians,” Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri was quoted
as saying in the regional press.
 
“The Brotherhood is not a political party,” but “a terrorist organization,”
Shukri said.      http://freebeacon.com/national-security/state-dept-misled-reporters-about-meeting-with-Muslim-brotherhood/
