Q: Is the Muslim Brotherhood “backing” Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams?

A: No. There is no evidence to support that claim, posted in a viral, manipulated image.

FULL ANSWER
A doctored image of Stacey Abrams shows the Democratic candidate for governor in Georgia holding a sign that labels herself a “Communist” and includes the hashtag “#MuslimBrotherhood.” Abrams is seen standing next to political activist Linda Sarsour, who wears a hijab.

“Heads up Georgia,” text above the image reads. “The Muslim Brotherhood is backing Abrams.”

There’s no evidence to support that claim, spread on Facebook with the help of more than 18,000 people who shared the manipulated photo.

He is right though ... Unfortunately... I say unfortunately becouse I am not for war...+ a lot of the people here sigh up ... they had that program ... for those to get free collage educations ... an also they give $ to some for enlistment... Mr Manchin has one strike against him ... but compared to what will be taken away if the republican wins will be devastating to WV... they have been trying to over turn preexisting conditions... will be cutting back on social security... taking away programs for the needed ...republican -> Morrisy wanted to fired the teachers ... Manchin helped with the raise and their health care ... he has helped the fireman of our state also... he has helped the mining ...even if they say he has not helped ... all this repub Morrisy wants to do ... is cut everything that stands in their way of profiting for them selves... Joe works with both sides but I do feel he has the hearts of West Virginians ... being that he is from here ... cause he has to face them... where as Morries could not win in NJ where he lobby's for the drug co ... and more then likely still does ... lots to think about ... but there really is only Joe Manchin that will really take care of WV...
