JD Vance’s Mom Blasts Abdul El-Sayed Over Racial Smears About Her Family: ‘That Man’s an Idiot’

Egyptian-American Muslim and Democrat Michigan Senate nominee Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed (aka Abdul El-Sayed) has been running around for months smearing Vice President JD Vance’s family as racist. Earlier this week, Vance himself struck back. On Wednesday, Vance’s mother, Beverly Vance Adkins, shared her own blunt thoughts.

“I think that man’s an idiot,” she said during an interview on OutKick’s Tomi Lahren is Fearless.

Of her grandkids, she added: “Those are my babies. I love those babies and would do anything for any of them. And I love Usha as if she were my own daughter. She’s one of the best, most genuine people I’ve ever met. And she loves my son, and she’s a good mother. And I don’t pay attention to people like [El-Sayed].”

“I think they’re jealous, honestly. I mean, JD is 42 years old. He’s handsome. He’s the vice president of the United States. He’s got a beautiful wife, four beautiful children, and jealousy is the only thing I can think of,” she added. “Yeah. So, I mean, he can take all the shots he wants. It’s going to go, you know, it’s going to get no merit from any of us.”

“I mean, it makes me mad, honestly, because he doesn’t know JD and he doesn’t know, you know, what type of person he is, and I do,” she continued, “but in the long run, I’m not going to do anything about it. I mean, you know, I’d probably punch the guy if I ever seen him, and then that would get me in trouble. So, I’ll just go with the flow.”

What El-Sayed has said these past few months with his relentless attacks on Vance’s family is simply beyond the pale.

“So do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no?” El-Sayed asked rhetorically, insinuating Vance’s grandfather would reject Usha Vance because of her Indian heritage.

El-Sayed also urged Usha to dump her husband, saying the vice president has the “charisma of a doorknob” and the “aura of a toad.”

El-Sayed has gone so far as to say Vance looks at his mixed-race kids as something “less American.”

Michigan Sec of State Replies To Justice Kavanaugh—Gives Laughable Response About Why It’s Not Fair For Supreme Court To Review Citizens Only Vote Petition Case

Despite the majority of citizens (including Democrats), who don’t want non-citizens on Michigan’s voter rolls, Michigan Secretary of State and Democrat candidate for governor, Jocelyn Benson, isn’t giving up the fight to keep non-citizens on the voter rolls and prevent any petition by the people, government entity, or even U.S. Supreme Court from identifying and removing them.

Michigan voters, regardless of political party, do NOT want non-citizens voting in their elections. In fact, a whopping 87% of voters evenly split between Democrats and Republicans in Michigan said in a recent Remington Group poll that they are not in favor of non-citizens voting in Michigan elections.

America’s dirtiest Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is not about representing the people she was elected to represent, she is, and always has been, about looking out for her own special interests. Jocelyn Benson and her right hand man, Bureau of Elections Director Jonathan Brater, have done everything within their power to ensure non-citizens are not only placed on Michigan’s voter rolls, but ensuring they maintain the sole authority to identify them.

Justice Kavanaugh Demands Michigan Sec of State Benson Answer After 2 Democrat Canvassers Block Citizenship Petition Backed by 87% of Likely MI Voters

America’s dirtiest Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and her right hand man, Bureau of Elections Director Jonathan Brater, have done everything within their power to ensure non-citizens are not only placed on Michigan’s voter rolls, but that once they are on the voter rolls, there is no way to discover them.

Last week, on Monday, August 4, hundreds of Michigan residents packed the Michigan Board of Canvassers meeting in Lansing to defend the validity of the Americans for Citizens Only Voting petition which was turned in several months ago with an astounding 709,841 signatures, 59.1% over the threshold of the minimum to make the ballot, which was only 446,198.

ACVM did not sneak this petition in at the last minute. The petitions landed on March 4, 2026 — more than four months before the July 6 filing deadline and eight months before Election Day. The Bureau of Elections sat on those 709,841 signatures for five and a half months. Staff did not release the 1,000-signature sample until July 24. The staff report calling the petition 17 signatures short did not come out until August 17. That is 166 days after the boxes were delivered, and it left the campaign 17 days to fight challenges, chase affidavits, and get in front of the Board of State Canvassers on August 24.

By then the clock was already killing the measure. Ballots have to be locked for the November 3 election. ACVM asked the Michigan Supreme Court to move. When that court sat on the case, the group went to Justice Kavanaugh on August 31 and asked for an order by September 3 — because the Board of State Canvassers meets September 4 to finalize the ballot. Five and a half months of silence, then a two-week scramble to save a proposal that had cleared the first staff count. That is how Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and her fellow Democrat activists keep a citizenship amendment off the ballot without ever taking a vote on the merits.

The Michigan Board of Canvassers was asked to review the signatures pulled from the “random sampling” that the Board of Elections Director Jonathan Brater’s staff deemed unacceptable because, according to the staff members, the signatures on the petition didn’t match the signatures they had on file. Many audience members could be heard remarking that their signatures have changed over the years, suggesting this was a completely unfair practice. The intense scrutiny given to each signature by the amateur signature sleuths was especially difficult to watch, given that only 6 years ago, Michigan’s top election official, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, told her clerks to ignore signature matching when accepting absentee ballots and assume the signature matched.

The attorneys working with ACVM were able to obtain 23 affidavits from the sampling of 1,000 that MI Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s Board of Elections “staff members” rejected, to prove that the signatures they called into question were indeed, valid signatures. The attornies provided 19 affidavits by the 10 am Saturday deadline and an additional 4 more on Saturday (the time of the delivery is unclear).

El-Sayed’s White Communications Director Once Said ‘White Women Are Policy Failures’

Heaven preserve us from the self-loathing, pro-Islamist, radical leftist white woman. There’s nothing more ironic than a female who happens to have white skin making sweeping pronouncements condemning all of her fellow pale-skinned women.

Communications director Roxie Richner, whom you can see from her profile photo below is whiter than Hunter Biden’s cocaine, has a whole series of posts from 2020 making racially derogatory comments about white people, particularly women and youth. Perhaps she even thinks that if her boss, Abdul El-Sayed, gets his sharia state, she will be delighted by the cultural enrichment of wearing a hijab, having no voice, and getting beaten if she doesn’t obey men promptly. There is no delusion that brainwashed leftists cannot reach.

In May 2020, Richner, who appears to be as ignorant of capitalization and grammar as she is of America’s founding principles, ranted on X, “fellow white people: one of the most powerful anti-racist acts is having those tough conversations with your loved ones. I make it a point to speak with my family about dismantling white supremacy almost every day. people are willing to learn, but you HAVE to make the effort.”

She added, “I don’t care if it’s scary or makes you uncomfortable. Black people are being murdered by the police and white women are making shit up trying to get Black people killed. snap tf out of it and start taking action.” This was the year of serial criminal George Floyd, who did not die of police-induced suffocation.

Richner did encourage people to be outraged about Tara Reade’s sexual misconduct allegations against Joe Biden, which is fine, so I’ll give her a pass on slamming “white liberal #metoo feminists.”

Michigan Democrats’ Israel divide deepens as Jewish attorney general skips state convention

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel will not attend Saturday’s Michigan Democratic Party convention, citing concerns about antisemitic harassment and what she describes as a deteriorating political climate within her own party.

Nessel, a Democrat and the first Jewish person elected to statewide executive office in Michigan, announced last month that she would skip the Aug. 29 nominating convention in Lansing because she does not feel safe or welcome there.

“I don’t feel safe going,” Nessel said, according to Fox News. “I feel like my presence isn’t going to be welcome. I don’t want to get chased around. I don’t want to get harassed. I don’t want to get yelled and screamed at. I don’t want to get booed off the stage, irrespective of what I’m saying.”

Her absence comes after Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., was loudly heckled by pro-Palestinian activists during the party’s April convention as she addressed the crowd about her support for Israel. 

Stevens ultimately lost the Democratic Senate nomination to Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive candidate who has been sharply critical of Israel.

LOCK HER UP: Slippery Democrat and MI Gubernatorial Candidate Jocelyn Benson Dropped NGO Fraud Charges Against MI AG Dana Nessel’s Wife After She Received a Call from Nessel – No Repercussions!

Jocelyn Benson was caught in a major scandal in Michigan in December.

As you may know, the current Secretary of State is running for governor to replace failed Democrat and buddy, Gretchen Whitmer.

Benson has a performance record that would make most normal individuals blush in shame. But not Jocelyn.

The Democrat Secretary of State has lost at least nine election-related lawsuits as she works to make elections less secure in the Wolverine state.

She is that bad.

Recently, information has resurfaced that Benson dropped NGO fraud charges against state AG Dana Nessel’s wife after she received a call from Nessel to do so!

Wall Street Apes tweeted out about this scandal this weekend.

This evidence of the call was leaked to the Michigan House Oversight Committee late last year. Republicans hold the Michigan House majority with 58 representatives to 51 Democrat representatives.

Here are the facts on the incident:

Michigan House Oversight Committee hearings in December 2025 revealed that Attorney General Dana Nessel contacted Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to have a criminal case involving her spouse, Alanna Maguire, re‑evaluated.

The case centered on Bipartisan Solutions, a nonprofit accused of violating Michigan’s Campaign Finance Act by raising about $700,000 to support the Fair & Equal Michigan ballot committee. Maguire served as a co‑chair of that committee, creating a clear conflict of interest.

Michigan law gives the Secretary of State sole investigative authority under the Campaign Finance Act. If unresolved after 90 days, the matter may be referred to the AG for possible criminal enforcement, but the AG cannot conduct its own investigation.

In April 2020, Nessel’s office established a “conflict wall” barring her from involvement in Fair & Equal Michigan matters, and she acknowledged in writing that it would be inappropriate to oversee the case.

According to internal emails obtained by the Oversight Committee, Nessel told her staff that the AG had reached out directly to Benson, who agreed to “take this matter back for further review”. The AG’s chief legal director responded that the office had no legal authority to “restart” the process.

Nessel refused to appear before the committee.

So, the Oversight Committee voted 10–6 to find Nessel in contempt for failing to appear and cooperate, calling her conduct “impeachable” and suggesting she stepped around ethical firewalls to benefit people close to her.

I’d say!

So why are Jocelyn Benson and Dana Nessel still in office in Michigan?

Michigan Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed Apologizes for ‘Pain’ Caused by Remarks Following Synagogue Attack

Far-left Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed has apologized for remarks he made following an antisemitic attack on a Detroit-area synagogue.

El-Sayed acknowledged that his attempt to provide “broader context” in the immediate aftermath was a mistake.

He addressed the controversy Saturday while speaking before the Michigan Democratic Jewish Caucus, whose members had expressed concerns about his candidacy and links to Islamism.

In March, Ayman Mohamad Ghazali drove a truck into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, injuring a security guard in what authorities described as a targeted attack against Jews.

El-Sayed condemned the violence at the time, saying there was “never a justification for attacking innocent people,” but added that “violence is a cycle” and “hurt people hurt people.”

SICK: Radical Michigan Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed Justifies Transgender Mutilation of Kids by Comparing It to Circumcision — Asks Jesse Watters About His Private Part on National TV

Michigan voters received another disturbing preview Monday night of what far-left Democrat Abdul El-Sayed would bring to the United States Senate.

During an appearance on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime,” El-Sayed defended keeping the government out of transgender medical procedures involving children, and then bizarrely compared those procedures to circumcision.

In El-Sayed’s twisted logic, parents allowing their sons to be circumcised is somehow comparable to authorizing life-altering transgender procedures on children.

Watters immediately rejected the outrageous comparison.

El-Sayed then accused Watters and conservatives of being “selective” because they oppose transgender procedures for minors while not demanding a government ban on circumcision.

Jesse Watters: Sex changes for minors — do you support that?

Abdul El-Sayed: Look, you know, I remember having great conversations with my conservative friends about right-to-try legislation — the idea that the government shouldn’t tell you what kind of healthcare you should have. I just think the government shouldn’t tell you what kind of healthcare you should have. And if you’re a minor, it is between your doctor and your parents.

Jesse Watters: You want to try on kids?

Abdul El-Sayed: Now, if you disagree with that — if you disagree with that, if you disagree that healthcare decisions need to be made by a doctor, their parents, and a patient — then I just think we agree to disagree.

Abdul El-Sayed: But, you know, you want to put government inside a clinic or hospital selectively.

Jesse Watters: So, Abdul, you’re a doctor, right?

Abdul El-Sayed: I am.

BOOM! Another Michigan Clerk Makes Video Asking For Feds To Step In And Remove Non-Citizens From Her Voter Rolls

Last week, Barry County, Michigan, Clerk David Olson made a video asking for the feds to step in and remove non-citizens from the voter rolls in Hastings Charter Township, Michigan.

Clerk Olson explained what the whistleblower told the Barry County Sheriff: “When a non-citizen changes their address, programming automatically registers that citizen to vote. When the employee advised the supervisor, the supervisor said, ‘That’s okay, because it will be caught downline by the clerks.” Olson challenged the supervisor’s statement, saying, “That is not correct! Once it’s in the qualified voter file, there’s no way for me to verify citizenship!”

He continued, “Therefore, they [non-citizens] are automatically issued a ballot or an absentee ballot. So, since it is my responsibility to safeguard the voter rolls in my township, I’m asking if the federal government is interested in helping verify my citizens’ [voter] rolls?”

Clerk Olson appears to welcome the opportunity to have his voter rolls cleared of non-citizens who have no right to vote in our elections. “I would be welcome to have them here,” he said, as he assured the integrity of his voter rolls would not be compromised.

Olson explained, “I will safeguard my voter roll in the office, but they are certainly welcome to come and compare against mine, and this way will uphold the law. I will definitely follow mine, and it will be fair and honest.” The soft-spoken clerk ended with a simple, “Thank you.

El-Sayed in the hot seat after ‘sickening’ animal control record goes viral on social media

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is facing renewed scrutiny over his tenure as Detroit health director, during which Detroit’s animal control department was beset by allegations of animal mistreatment and reportedly branded a “dog slaughterhouse” by a former employee.

Detroit Animal Care and Control’s (DACC) live-release rate was roughly 20% to 26% when El-Sayed inherited the operation in late 2015 but climbed to about 61% to 62% by late 2016 — an improvement his campaign points to in arguing that the raw number of animals euthanized during his tenure obscures a turnaround from the dire conditions and euthanasia rates he inherited. The Daily Mail reported that records covering the period surrounding El-Sayed’s tenure showed 4,680 dogs and cats were euthanized, with 1,056 dogs and 29 cats getting euthanized in the first full calendar year DACC was under El-Sayed’s Health Department.

After winning a bruising primary against Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., El-Sayed is asking Michigan voters to send him to the U.S. Senate, but his record running Detroit’s Health Department and the troubled animal-control operation under its authority has generated renewed scrutiny.
