Fox News interviewed Vice President JD Vance on several topics, but the one that seemed to hit him personally was Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed (he hates when you use his full name) winning the Democrat nomination for Senate in Michigan. Vance called El-Sayed an odd guy who's gone after his kids. Back in April, El-Sayed said on a podcast that he couldn't imagine someone with brown kids making a career out of hating people who are different. “That’s wild to look at your own kids and be like ‘you don’t actually belong as much in this country that I brought you into,’” El-Sayed continued.
🚨 WOW! JD Vance just DROPPED THE MIC on Michigan Senate candidate Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed (D):

"He is a person who claims to stand for working people and yet he opposed Donald Trump's policies that have quite literally SAVED the Michigan auto industry."
"He's gone after… pic.twitter.com/kv9RtEGEQj
The post continues:
… my kids! He's an ODD GUY. It's TELLING that instead of talking about what to do to make Michiganders better, he takes personal insults at me. The guy's CRAZY and would be a TERRIBLE senator!"
"This is not a guy who wants a prosperous economy where auto workers and everybody else can actually raise a family ideally on a single wage if they so choose."
"What he is actually trying to build is an economy where you tax some people [and] you give it to Democratic Party favorite interest groups!"
"And that's just not how you create prosperity; you create prosperity by actually rebuilding the middle class of this country, rebuilding the industrial foundation of middle-class prosperity."
He’s not crazy, he’s quite lucid. He hates what America represents and any Americans who are proud of the country. He wants to re-shape it in his image. Saying “he’s crazy” is a weak cop-out

It's because people like Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed think like criminals. They are not interested in hard work. Instead, they are always looking for the easiest way to get money for nothing.

If he wasn't in a position of influence, he would be scamming people.
Michigan is about to repeat the same mistake NY made and then cry about it months later

Glad JD spoke out

That’s a pretty brutal takedown. Vance is clearly making the argument about jobs, wages, and the middle class not personal attacks. 🙌🏽

Vance nailed it: real wealth creation beats government redistribution.

One single-income family supported by manufacturing builds real communities.
Which policy actually helps workers more?
JD Vance just performed open-heart surgery on El-Sayed’s campaign with a rusty spoon and zero anaesthesia. The Michigan auto workers are out here nodding like ‘yeah… that tracks pic.twitter.com/5zeCG1Zi42

Vance is spot on. Rebuilding the industrial foundation and protecting the middle class is how you actually help workers, not through tax hikes and catering to special interest groups. Excellent response.

And yet the United Auto Workers endorsed El-Sayed. Vote blue, no matter who!
