'Is Abdul a jihadist?': Vance accuses El-Sayed of anti-US hatred; comments on his 'weird friend'

Vice President JD Vance took aim at Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed during a press gaggle on October 27, defending President Donald Trump’s controversial “jihadist” remark and commenting on Abdul's 'weird' friends. He accused El-Sayed of promoting what he described as anti-white racial hatred.Asked whether El-Sayed was a jihadist, as Trump had claimed, Vance pointed to the candidate’s political associations and past remarks, saying he had aligned himself with people who justify violence against the United States.
