And so we had a hearing this week in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee where I questioned Mr. Ghalib on his record. One of the things in his record, He's publicly praised the Muslim Brotherhood. He said he finds the Muslim Brotherhood to be inspiration. Now, I believe the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization. I filed legislation to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. And I think the Trump administration is likely to do so. (19:21–19:28)
