This was an Islamophobic info op against Abdul El-Sayed. They tried to frame him as a Muslim Brotherhood supporter. CBS’s Jan Crawford played along, even when the video clearly showed El-Sayed eloquently debunking the info op they were running against him. No reason to listen to her going forward.

Obviously, this tweet is sparking a lot of discussion among CBS staff, with some telling me it's akin to CBS endorsing anti-Muslim hate speech. Also, some have noted that Terry Moran was fired by ABC for something similar when he personally criticized Stephen Miller on Twitter.

Hearing from my sources that this "over the top" tweet from Jan Crawford is being discussed internally at CBS. At the same time, as those same sources noted, "Jan is protected by Bari" and has been a very vocal acolyte of Weiss. "She just can't help herself," one network insider said.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.
