Democrat Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed claps back at JD Vance’s latest insult
Democrat candidate Abdul El-Sayed has responded to at Vice President JD Vance’s latest insult amid the heated Senate race in Michigan. Vance called El-Sayed “a little weasel” who should “show a little gratitude to that country that gave him everything” during a stop in Monroe on Thursday (October 15) in support of Republican Mike Rogers. Later that day, at a stop in Marquette, El-Sayed, a Michigan alum, responded to Vance, a graduate of their hated football rivals, Ohio State. “JD Vance called me a little weasel today. I'm, like, ‘No, no, no. What you're talking about is a f***ing wolverine,’ said El-Sayed, referencing his alma mater’s mascot. “You can take your Buckeye and go shove it somewhere else...Ohio. Here we might be [Northern Michigan University] Wildcats, we might be [Michigan State] Spartans, we might be [Michigan] Wolverines, but we will never be [Ohio State] Buckeyes.”
