Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said claims made by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and four other Republicans that Hillary Clinton’s top adviser is an infiltrator for the Muslim Brotherhood amount to “specious and degrading attacks.”
“When anyone, not least a member of Congress, launches specious and degrading attacks against fellow Americans on the basis of nothing more than fear of who they are and ignorance of what they stand for, it defames the spirit of our nation, and we all grow poorer because of it,” McCain said on the Senate floor on Wednesday.
..... “These attacks on Huma have no logic, no basis and no merit. And they need to stop now,” said McCain, one of the most respected voices on foreign policy in the Senate.

Ms Adedin was born in Michigan, but was later raised in Saudi Arabia. She is being accused of using her position to promote the interests of the Muslim Brotherhood.
