El-Sayed points out obvious Vance hypocrisy
El-Sayed made posts calling out JD Vance for race-baiting and dog-whistling to white supremacists while married to a nonwhite woman and surrounded by immigrants. Fox News and Republicans are now screaming that El-Sayed is the one being racist and sexist for stating facts.
The actual posts were blunt but not false. One referenced Vance taking his Indian wife "back in time" (a jab at his nostalgia politics). Another mocked a Trump aide. And somehow this is the scandal, not the sitting Vice President's years of explicit racial demagoguery.
This is the playbook every single time: call out hypocrisy, get smeared as the aggressor, watch the media treat both sides as equally unreasonable.
Abdul El-Sayed is facing a wave of backlash over a pair of posts taking aim at Second Lady Usha Vance and Trump aide Natalie Harp. “So do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no…” El-Sayed posted after Vice President JD Vance took aim at his past comments on Sharia law. Critics quickly accused the Michigan Senate candidate of making a racist reference to Usha Vance’s Indian ethnicity. Then El-Sayed turned his attention to Trump aide Natalie Harp: “Natalie, I think he’s had a little too much iPad for the week. He needs his rest.” The posts are now fueling accusations of racism and sexism, adding another flashpoint to El-Sayed’s escalating fight with Vance. Read more⬇️
