Vice President Criticizes El-Sayed in Michigan Speech
Vice President JD Vance fiercely criticized Democrat Abdul El-Sayed during a speech in Michigan on Tuesday, pointing out what he described as El-Sayed’s hostility towards white Americans.
At the rally, Vance promoted Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers and framed the battle for Michigan’s Senate seat as a critical fight for America’s sovereignty, questioning how the nation could thrive under leadership filled with contempt for its foundational values.
“Michigan refuses to turn over its Senate seat to a man who would tear down this state and tear down this country,” Vance asserted.
He also cast doubt on El-Sayed’s loyalty to the United States, mentioning that the Democrat, born in America, has previously acknowledged foreign connections.
El-Sayed, who is the child of Egyptian immigrants, once referred to himself as an “immigrant from North Africa” in 2017. Additionally, a resume he shared a decade ago indicated he had claimed Egyptian citizenship, as reported earlier.
He had also suggested at one point that he possesses “dual citizenship,” a claim that his campaign later contradicted, stating he has never been a dual citizen “by any verifiable metric.”
Vance questioned the reasoning behind El-Sayed’s disassociation from his heritage, calling it “an insane claim to make.”
The Vice President noted that El-Sayed’s actions align with a broader negative attitude towards the United States and its people.
Earlier in his discourse, Vance referenced various controversial statements made by El-Sayed, including his 2018 assertion that, “We owe it to the world to open our doors, and we’re better because of it,” along with an endorsement for police defunding back in 2020.
In comments to reporters, Vance described El-Sayed as “a little bit of a psychopath,” alleging he has been one of the most openly anti-white candidates running nationally.
While Vance did not detail specific examples, there are certainly many instances of El-Sayed’s comments. Notably, on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, he expressed views suggesting the U.S. government’s post-9/11 focus on Islamic extremism overshadowed other domestic threats, particularly referring to “homegrown” radical white individuals.
El-Sayed also stated that white supremacy has “stained” much of American history.
The Democrat has criticized Border Patrol agents as “white supremacists” and claimed that policing in America has roots in white supremacist ideology. Additionally, he has labeled “white nationalism” as a falsehood.
During his speech, Vance emphasized the threat posed by individuals like El-Sayed, suggesting they have little connection to their nation’s history and land.
Vance concluded by asserting, “This country belongs to the people who love it enough to defend it,” underscoring his belief that Michigan should not acquiesce to someone who would undermine the foundations of the state and country.
