Radical Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s racially insensitive remark directed at Second Lady Usha Vance is significantly backfiring, potentially estranging Michigan’s 130,000 Indian-Americans and vital female voters, sources informed The Post.
This unsolicited attack on the second lady revealed El-Sayed’s personal insecurities, according to a GOP insider, who claimed that the anti-Israel Democrat is exploiting women to project strength when he sarcastically posted on X: “So do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no …”
“We may have differences. We attack each other. “They are not the one running.
The Usha flap arises as El-Sayed seeks to shield himself from critics within his own party who are urging him to sever ties with Hasan Piker, who has been accused of antisemitism and stated that “America deserved 9/11.
“For sure” he’s going to come out swinging, state GOP party co-chair Sunny Reddy told The Post. “He’s going to see more reactions from the community,” he stated. But going to the family and the kids is a disaster,” he said.
On Thursday, he was seen alongside Representatives Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a notable Jewish member of the House, and Debbie Dingell (D-Mich) in Ann Arbor.
Vance has yet to respond to the remarks aimed at his wife, but he is expected to take aim at El-Sayed when he visits Michigan on Monday to campaign in the 10th Congressional District close to Detroit, according to sources who spoke to The Post.
