Vance’s Mom: I’d Probably Punch El-Sayed, Call Him an Idiot

Vance’s mother Beverly Aikins told OutKick she’d probably punch Abdul El-Sayed and called him an idiot after El-Sayed mocked her family; she defended JD and Usha Vance, suggesting jealousy fuels the attacks. El-Sayed’s remarks about Vance’s interracial marriage drew backlash from Vance and GOP challenger Mike Rogers, though his campaign did not comment. Vance later pushed back in a Sterling Heights speech and on social media, telling El-Sayed to keep his wife’s name out of his mouth.
