Vice President J.D. Vance’s mom didn’t mince words when asked about Democrat Socialist Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
Beverly Vance Akins was a guest on OutKick’s “Tomi Lahren is Fearless,” when the topic of the Michigan Democrat’s derogatory comments about Second Lady Usha Vance and her grandkids came up.
“Why do people want to take shots at your family that way?” host Tomi Lahren asked.
Aikins didn’t hold back.
“I think that man’s an idiot,” she responded. “Those are my babies. You know, I’d probably punch the guy if I ever see him.”

The VP’s mom was most likely referring to the shot El-Sayed took in April, invoking her grandkids.
“Can you imagine, he’s [Vance] got brown kids, at some point he’s going to have a really awkward conversation with his kids, like, you made your career hating people who are different,” El-Sayed said.
The Michigan Democrat also took a dig at Vance’s grandfather more recently, taunting on X: “So do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no…”
That remark came after Vance had publicly blasted the Socialist Dem for his support of Sharia Law:
Vance on El-Sayed: I would love to go back in time and tell my papaw, that there is a man who claims to stand for working people, who says not only should we have sharia law, but if you criticize it, you are a white supremacist. pic.twitter.com/t7RqCCJt5Y

The Vice President has credited his “paw paw,” James Vance, who died years ago, as a role model while growing up.
Aikins also told Lahren, “I love Usha as if she were my own daughter.”
“Jealousy is the only thing I can think of,” she said, explaining why El-Sayed continues to take personal digs at the vice president’s family.
