‘AMERICAN PATRIOT’: OBAMA PRAISES CLINTON AIDE HUMA ABEDIN DURING RAMADAN DINNER Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin became a nationally-recognized figure after Michele Bachmann and four other Republicans launched an investigation into the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood within the U.S. government.

The congressmen noted that Abedin’s mother, brother, and father all have connections to the Islamist organization, before asking how the valued aide was given the high-level security clearance she presumably has. The inquiry set off a firestorm in the media, with powerful members of Congress like John McCain coming to Abedin’s impassioned defense.

At a Ramadan dinner Friday night, Barack Obama also praised the Clinton aide, calling her “nothing less than extraordinary” and an “American patriot.”

“She has been nothing less than extraordinary in representing our country and the democratic values that we hold dear,” the president said, according to Reuters. “The American people owe her a debt of gratitude because Huma is an American patriot and an example of what we need in this country — more public servants with her sense of decency, her grace and her generosity of spirit.”
