Socialist Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who is running against Republican former Congressman Mike Rogers, is under fire after a vile swipe at mom of four and second lady Usha Vance.
In a post on X, El-Sayed appears to suggest that Vice President JD Vance’s family would not welcome Usha because of her Indian ethnicity.
He wrote on X, “So do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no…”

El-Sayed shared the post in response to Vice President Vance’s recent remarks, “I would love to go back in time and tell my papaw, that there is a man who claims to stand for working people, who says not only should we have sharia law, but if you criticize it, you are a white supremacist.”

Backlash for El-Sayed’s comments was swift.
Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) asked, “Why does Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed just assume that all white midwestern grandparents are racist?”

An account purported to be representing Democrats supporting Rogers stated, “This is why there were ads in the primary correctly highlighting how sexist and misogynistic Abdul is. He has so much contempt for women.”
“If you’re over the politics of division. Reject Abdul El-Sayed.”

Earlier in the day, El-Sayed attacked another woman, Natalie Harp, an aide to President Donald Trump.
“Natalie, I think he’s had a little too much iPad for the week. He needs his rest,” El-Sayed said in response to Trump blasting him at a rally for campaigning with far-left socialist Hasan Piker, who has said that “America deserved 9/11.”

While El-Sayed is clearly comfortable attacking women, there are women in his own life who are under increased scrutiny.
The Gateway Pundit reported that El-Sayed’s mother worked for a terrorism linked group that funded Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, and Hamas, according to a new bombshell report.
TGP also reported that El-Sayed’s half-sister is a radical leftist professor at the University of Chicago who allegedly assaulted a police officer at an anti-ICE protest.
