在周六的活动中，一名仅自称“汤米”的与会者从人群中喊出，询问埃尔-赛德是否会否认该运动。埃尔-赛德回答：“当然，是的，绝对会。”随后他反问那位男子是否认为他不会这样做。
At the event on Saturday, an attendee who gave his name only as “Tommy” shouted from the crowd, asking whether El-Sayed would disavow the movement. El-Sayed answered: “Sure, yeah, absolutely,” then turned the question around, asking whether the man assumed he wouldn’t.
