I introduced versions of this bill in the 114th Congress in 2015, in the 115th Congress in 2017, and the 116th Congress in 2020, and in the 117th Congress in 2021. And The reason that it [the bill to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization] hasn't gone anywhere is that Democrats oppose it. Now, it seems weird. Why would progressives embrace a fundamentalist Islamist jihadist organization which is openly and brazenly against rights for women, openly and brazenly against rights for homosexuals? (08:20–08:26)
