Beverly Vance Aikins, mother of Vice President JD Vance, fiercely defended her family and daughter-in-law after Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed launched baseless, divisive attacks on the Vance family’s character and values.
Beverly Vance Aikins, the proud mother of Vice President JD Vance, told OutKick’s 'Tomi Lahren is Fearless' that she would probably punch Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed if she saw him, after his disgraceful comments about her family.
Aikins, fed up with the left’s constant smears, made it clear that El-Sayed knows nothing about her son and expressed her frustration, saying she would 'just go with the flow' rather than act on her feelings.
'I think that man's an idiot,' Aikins said, rightly calling out El-Sayed’s ignorance and disrespect.
She attributed the attacks to jealousy over her son’s success, public profile, and strong family values. Aikins also stood up for Usha Vance, describing her as 'one of the best, most genuine people' she has met, in stark contrast to the left’s attempts to sow division.
El-Sayed’s campaign, unable to defend his shameful remarks, did not respond to a request for comment. Earlier, El-Sayed had stooped to attacking the Vance family on social media, suggesting JD Vance’s grandfather would not have approved of his interracial marriage to Usha Vance, an Indian-American, and continued his divisive rhetoric on a podcast.
JD Vance responded with dignity, urging El-Sayed to keep his wife out of the mudslinging. Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers also condemned El-Sayed’s comments, apologizing to the Indian-American community and praising Usha Vance as a role model for all Americans.
