Funny, I was just listening to it...very credible, well-spoken and intelligent individual. There should be outrage that all this fraud is not being discussed by the lame-stream....but, it's just not in their best interest...

Colbeck A storied past He has been attacked by his political opponents for his remarks at a public forum featuring former member of the Muslim Brotherhood Kamal Saleem and former counter-terrorism expert with the Department of Homeland Security Phil Haney. During the forum, he reviewed a document entered as evidence in the federal trial U.S. vs Holy Land Foundation called the “Explanatory Memorandum”. This document was only discovered after the FBI executed a search warrant on the home of Ismail Elbarasse whose wife was caught suspiciously videotaping the support structures of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. When the FBI searched their Virginia home, they discovered a secret room in their basement containing 80 banker boxes of information on the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood in America. The Explanatory Memorandum contains the Muslim Brotherhood's plan for what they refer to as “civilization jihad” in America. It cites organizations such as the Muslim Students Association as means to that end. [16] Colbeck made a point of highlighting that Abdul El-Sayed, one of his Democratic Party opponents, was Vice President of the Muslim Students Association at the University of Michigan. The Muslim Brotherhood has been designated as a terrorist organization by majority Muslim and Arabic countries such as Egypt, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. When asked about the dangers of Sharia Law at a May 10, 2018 gubernatorial candidate forum hosted by the Michigan Press Association, Abdul El-Sayed responded to Colbeck's remarks by saying "You may not hate Muslims, but Muslims definitely hate you." [17] During a public forum where he discussed the need for the State of Michigan to learn how to live within its means and forego the "politics-as-usual" tax increase approach to solving problems, the Senator referred to his 72k salary as 'fixed income' since it remained constant throughout his 8 years of public service. Despite this statement being true, detractors took issue with him calling a $72,000 per year salary a 'fixed income' believing he was insensitive to people of lower income levels. [18] “I often use the term ‘fixed’ to describe variables that are constant,” Colbeck said in a statement. “For example, I regularly refer to ‘fixed’ and ‘variable’ costs in financial discussions. Plus, I like to fix things and we have many problems in state government that can benefit from this attitude.” [19]
