Flashback: Top House Dem Steny Hoyer Meets With Muslim Brotherhood Leaders in Cairo…

Liberals like Hoyer are attracted to Islamists like moths to a flame.

CAIRO (April, 2007)— The United States has been quietly holding a dialogue with the banned Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

On April 5, U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer met a Brotherhood leader twice. One meeting was at Egypt’s parliament, where the Brotherhood controls about 20 percent of the 454 seats, and the other was at the residence of the U.S. ambassador to Egypt, Francis Ricciardone.

Western diplomats and Brotherhood sources said American officials have been meeting members of the Islamic opposition in Alexandria and Cairo. They said the meetings, which focused on the positions of the Brotherhood and the future of Egypt, have usually taken place at the U.S. embassy, consulate or in the home of the American ambassador, Middle East Newsline reported.

“The Brotherhood plays a major role in Egypt’s political landscape and cannot be ignored,” a Western diplomat said. “On the other hand, these talks have to be handled delicately so as not to anger the government.”

“It’s our diplomatic practice around the world to meet with parliamentarians, be they members of political parties or independents,” U.S. embassy spokesman John Berry said.

[On Monday, officials said an Egyptian security court extended its remand of five Brotherhood leaders. One of the detainees was identified as Hassan Malik, regarded as a key financier of the Islamic opposition movement.]

The diplomats said U.S. officials and representatives have exploited a range of opportunities to meet Brotherhood members. They cited U.S. embassy receptions for members of the Egyptian parliament as well as with the political opposition.

Brotherhood spokesman Hamdi Hassan said Hoyer met the chairman of the Brotherhood caucus in parliament, Mohammed Saad Katatni. Hassan said Hoyer and Katatni discussed the Brotherhood vision of Egypt and the Middle East as well as the opposition

    “American officials…?”

    Like DemonRATS? Like the Wikidocs material that Zero’s regime especially has met with opponents of Mubarak (read, MB) for over two years?

    Like the way they met with these Communist terrorists to undermine our ally, too?

    DEM SHOCKER!!… Speaker Pelosi Was Sending Messages to FARC Terrorists While Undermining Colombian Government!

    The talk show host Tammy Bruce is asking Darrel Issa to investigate the Obama administration. And if it conspired with the Muslim Brotherhood to take over in Egypt. If they find out he did, it is another impeachable offence. And since he has already been found guilty of contempt of court in La..and possibly also in contempt for ignoring the court over Obamacare. He is starting to pile up impeachable offences!!

    It just goes on and on with the Democrats. Their deep seeded desire to meet with every dictator, wannabe tyrant and despotic regime with what seems to be the express purpose to undermine American interests around the globe is staggering.

    It is amazing to me how brazenly the left can expose their borderline and not so borderline treasonous behaviour and still hold any lever of power in this country again.

    The left…..never met a tyrant they didn’t like. Having standards….bah, that is for the proles.

    I could see if they met with these people, to clarify any misconceptions, on where they stand. But this seems not to be the case.

    We have some very corrupt and seditious people in our government. I pray every day, that some investigations will begin and put some of these people in a Super Max for life.

    It can be done.

    They’ll still be wondering WTF happen as the sword whistles through the air onto their necks.

    Am sure the lefties in this country are helping The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Those riots were planned and not spontaneous at all. Hope Mubarak spits in Obama’s face and the Egyptian Army can maintain control. Most reports from the MSM are nothing but BS. This is Obama’s contribution to what he perceives to be the beginning of the downfall of Israel.

    The Muzzy Bro-hood and the dem communist party are definitely in cahoots. They’re both scheming to bring down their common enemy: western civilization. It’s just that the dhimmi dems haven’t figured out their victory will be brief if they succeed.

    These are not the extreme of the democrat party any longer. What you are seeing is the very heart and soul of the hatred that has become the democrat party in America. Anyone still think our biggest threat is overseas hiding in a cave somewhere? How about walking the halls of congress, living in the white house, running the media and being members of the hate-America first and most democrat party.
