CBS News veteran Jan Crawford usually has the delicate task of covering the U.S. Supreme Court and the ways in which its decisions affect American lives and policies. On Sunday, however, Crawford was the one being judged.

Crawford, who joined CBS News in 2009, posted a note following a town hall meeting held Saturday night in Michigan during which Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed parried with a young man named Tommy who asked him if he would “disavow the Muslim brotherhood.” The politician won approval from liberals on social media by discussing the right to religious freedom held by Americans under the U.S. Constitution.
