At a Detroit rally, JD Vance firmly told Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed to focus on real issues instead of launching personal attacks, highlighting the Democrat’s record of undermining Michigan’s auto-industry workers and supporting policies that favor illegal immigrants.
JD Vance took the stage at a Detroit rally organized by a pro-President super PAC to set the record straight, urging Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed to stop resorting to personal attacks against his wife, Usha Vance, and instead address the policy issues that matter to Michiganders.
"I actually think that the people of Michigan think it's kind of weird when you talk about another guy's wife," Vance said, making it clear that voters are tired of petty politics and want leaders who will fight for their jobs and families. He emphasized the need for serious public-policy ideas and the protection of auto-workers, something the Democrat has failed to deliver.
Vance didn’t hesitate to expose El-Sayed’s support for radical leftist policies that have hurt Michigan’s auto workers, pointing out that his opponent has backed measures that reduce wages and cost jobs. Vance also drew attention to El-Sayed’s previous advocacy for giving illegal immigrants driver’s licenses—a reckless stance that threatens the livelihoods of American truck drivers and undermines the rule of law.
El-Sayed, unable to defend his record, stooped to making a bizarre comment about Vance taking his wife “back in time to meet Papaw,” which Vance rightly called a personal jab. El-Sayed later tried to spin his words, claiming he was raising questions about who is “more American,” despite Vance’s family ties to immigrants—showing the Democrat’s hypocrisy and divisive identity politics.
Conservative commentator Ryan Girdusky called out El-Sayed for his remarks, suggesting the Democrat was smearing rural white Michiganders as racist—a typical tactic from the left to silence dissent.
The El-Sayed campaign did not respond when asked for comment, perhaps unwilling to defend their candidate’s out-of-touch positions.
