A Democratic Senate candidate from Michigan, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, made some rather egregious comments about Vice President JD Vance’s children during a recent appearance on a podcast, claiming that Vance thinks his “brown kids” are “less American than everyone else,” encouraging Second Lady Usha Vance to “get out” of the marriage.
During an interview on “The Allen Analysis Show,” El-Sayed spoke of the second lady, saying, “What do you think is going through Usha’s head when he talks? She’s like, ‘Damn, I have to sleep with him.'” He then went on to say, “I guess she’s pregnant, so I guess something is happening.” And as if that coarse remark was not enough, he then brought the couple’s children into the conversation.
“Can you imagine, he’s got Brown kids, at some point he’s going to have a really awkward conversation with his kids, like, you made your career hating people who are different,” El-Sayed said. He then slammed Vance, saying that his “whole political philosophy is incoherent, and he’s smart enough to know it,” adding that the vice president is “soul corrupt.”
“It must suck to know that your entire politics is incoherent with the way you live your life,” he stated, according to the Post Millennial. “How do you deal with that every day?” The Democratic Senate candidate then said, “He’s got to look at his kids and be like, ‘Yeah, those are Brown kids, they’re mine.’ You know what I mean?”
“And I had brown kids, love my brown kids, and I think my brown kids are just as American as everyone else. JD Vance has brown kids who he thinks are less American than everyone else,” El-Sayed continued. “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 then claimed once Vance’s children become adults they would “do everything they can to undo his politics. And I hope they will.” El-Sayed finished his rant by claiming he “loves” Vance’s children and told Usha Vance to “get out.” His final parting shot was the claim that Vance had the “charisma of a doorknob.” Folks had a lot to say about El-Sayed’s comments on social media.

One commenter on Facebook pointed out that by letting Democrats like El-Sayed talk, they are essentially causing their own downfall as people get to see their true colors. “Operation Let Them Talk works again,” the person wrote. Another replied, “Sad, if you don’t like an adult that’s fine. Your problem is with the adult, children should never be brought into the equation.”
Another individual agreed with that comment, saying, “Leave the kids out of your discussions. What difference does it make what color they are? Let them be kids. Someone else noted that, “Both parents are American by birth. Their children are American by birth. What’s the problem?” A user wrote that the vice president’s children are “precious children made in the image of God” regardless of their skin color. One individual summed it up best by simply stating, “Them’s fightin’ words.”
