An infamous former New York Times columnist and current Harvard University fellow was left red-faced earlier this week after trying to defend Muslim Marxist Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s alleged ties to terrorists.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, El-Sayed recently appeared on Meet the Press and was asked if he or anyone in his family has connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. His answer was a flat no.

But NBC News later engaged in actual journalism and confronted El-Sayed about tweets from his sister and other family members that appear to suggest a family connection to the organization.

El-Sayed did not appreciate the line of questions.

On Thursday’s edition of CNN Newsnight, Charles Blow, a Langston Hughes Fellow at Harvard University and former opinion columnist for The New York Times, got into a spat with conservative attorney May Mailman while trying to defend El-Sayed over the reported terror ties.

But he quickly made a major mistake when he demanded that Mailman disown President Trump while trying to defend El-Sayed’s comments on NBC.

Mailman responded by easily swatting the effort aside with just one simple question: Is Trump’s parent a terrorist?

This caused some of the panelists to erupt in laughter, which annoyed Blow.

WATCH:

BLOW: Involvement with any type of connection to a terrorist group is a problem. Is that what you’re saying?

MAILMAN: I do think if your parent is a terrorist, that is a problem.

BLOW: What, uh, that’s not what he’s saying. But, so, are you know about to disown Donald Trump and condemn him?

MAILMAN: Is his parent a terrorist?

(laughter)

BLOW (turning his head): Oh, you laugh…
