Why we used this label
Relative to the allegation that El-Sayed's campaign took money from Muslim Brotherhood-linked sources, Elsayes says he did not sign the 2012 letter the report uses to describe him as a fellow Brotherhood supporter of El-Sayed, and that he did not like Morsi's policies. He confirms the donation but flatly denies the signature, so a denial fits better than a challenge to the characterization.
