Vice President JD Vance had nothing nice to say about Michigan Democratic hopeful Abdul El-Sayed on Tuesday, as voters get ready to make some serious decisions.
As Americans prepare to head to the polls for midterm voting, Vance visited Michigan in the hopes of swaying swing voters at the very last second. He pulled no punches in his assessment of the Democratic nominee before boarding Air Force Two and jetting off to a rally outside Detroit.
“Abdul El-Sayed is a little bit of a psychopath, and we’re going to just try to make the argument as well as we can and help Mike out a little bit,” he said, adding that El-Sayed “engaged in the kind of explicitly anti-white racial hatred” maybe “more than any Democrat running in the nation.”

He also accused the candidate of being “a guy who seems to love to traffic in racial hatred.”
While speaking to the crowd in Howell, Michigan, Vance accused El-Sayed of being a liar.
“Abdul El-Sayed was born just north of Detroit in a town called Rochester Hills. Yet he is claiming to be, and I quote, ‘an immigrant from North Africa.’ For decades, he’s gone even further than that. He told people he is an Egyptian citizen,” the vice president said. “Why? Why would you tell people that you were not from the community that you’re actually from? It’s an insane claim to make… [He is] a man who would lie, who is so ashamed of this state that he would lie about being an immigrant from another continent.”
He also claimed El-Sayed “says that he wants to pass the green new scam and kill the auto industry of this state” and “campaigned with his best friend Hassan Piker, a man who said that we deserved 9/11.”
However, he didn’t go as far as President Donald Trump, who has referred to the Democrat as a “jihadist.”
“I don’t know what’s in the guy’s heart. I just know he has a lot of weird friends,” Vance said.
He also rejected Tucker Carlson’s opposition of El-Sayed’s Republican opponent Mike Rogers, saying he believes the GOP candidate is “fundamentally a decent guy and the kind of public servant that you want in Washington, D.C.”
It remains to be seen if this last-ditch effort will pull enough votes to overcome El-Sayed’s 2.5% lead over Rogers.
