A Michigan Democrat has made controversial remarks about US vice president JD Vance, including comments about his wife and children during a podcast interview.Abdul El-Sayed, who is seen as a leading contender in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, made the remarks while speaking on a podcast hosted by Brian Allen. A clip from the interview has since gone viral.During the conversation, El-Sayed criticised Vance’s political views and questioned how they align with his personal life. Referring to the vice president’s family, he said: “JD Vance has brown kids who he thinks are less American than everyone else. 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.’”He also made personal remarks about Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, saying: “Do you think about what’s going through Usha’s head when he talks? She’s like, I guess she’s pregnant so something is happening.”Later in the discussion, El-Sayed added: “Usha, get out. Okay, still got time, Vance.” This was interpreted by some social media users as him suggesting that Usha should leave or divorce Vance.The comments made by El-Sayed accused Vance of holding political views that he described as inconsistent. He also referenced Vance’s past remarks on immigration and cultural identity, suggesting they could conflict with his family background, especially with his Indian-origin wife and Indian in-laws.The clip was shared by conservative outlet Breitbart. The full podcast interview runs for over 40 minutes and includes discussion on a range of political issues, including campaign funding, foreign policy and voter outreach.
