The internet is ablaze after controversial socialist Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan invoked second lady Usha Vance in taking a dig at Vice President JD Vance, leading some top voices to question how he would treat female staff should he win in November. "El Sayed is now attacking Wives [sic] of US leaders? What a guy," said former Florida state representative Ben Graber on X . El-Sayed, running against Republican former congressman Mike Rogers , launched the attack on Saturday after Vance slammed him for his stated adherence to Sharia law during a rally in Ohio, suggesting the practice would be completely alien to his grandfather, whom he calls his "Papaw." VANCE UNLOADS ON EL-SAYED OVER SHARIA REMARKS: ‘THAT’S NOT MY GRANDPA’S DEMOCRATIC PARTY’ "So do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no…" El-Sayed said, seemingly in reference to the second lady's Indian ethnicity. El-Sayed's campaign did not return a comment request from Fox News Digital asking him to explain exactly what he was implying. SWING-STATE DEM CANDIDATE'S 'DISGUSTING' COMMENTS ABOUT JD, USHA VANCE'S 'BROWN CHILDREN' SPARKS OUTRAGE "Why does Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed just assume that all White midwestern grandparents are racist?" asked Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, in response to the post. "If you’re a rural White American living in Michigan, just remember El-Sayed believes you’re a racist," said commentator Ryan Girdusky. MICHIGAN DEMOCRAT ACCUSES ABDUL EL-SAYED OF 'DEEPLY SEXIST ATTACKS' ON FEMALE POLITICAL RIVALS "This is why there were ads in the primary correctly highlighting how sexist and misogynistic Abdul is," said an X account run by Democrats supporting El-Sayed's opponent Mike Rogers. "He has so much contempt for women. If you’re over the politics of division. Reject Abdul El-Sayed." Others accused El-Sayed of being racist himself.
