NEW: Abdul El-Sayed Faces Fury Over ‘Racist’ Attack On Usha Vance
Michigan socialist Abdul El-Sayed sparked outrage Saturday after dragging second lady Usha Vance and White House aide Natalie Harp into separate attacks on social media.
The controversial Senate candidate, who is running against Republican former Rep. Mike Rogers, faced accusations of racism and misogyny as critics questioned how he would treat female staffers if elected in November.
Vice President JD Vance had slammed El-Sayed during an Ohio rally over the candidate’s stated adherence to Sharia law, arguing that the practice would have been completely foreign to his grandfather, whom he calls his “Papaw.”
El-Sayed responded by invoking Vance’s wife and her Indian ethnicity.
“So do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no…” El-Sayed posted.
His campaign did not respond to a Fox News Digital request asking him to explain what he meant.
“Why does Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed just assume that all White midwestern grandparents are racist?” asked Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, in response to the post.
“If you’re a rural White American living in Michigan, just remember El-Sayed believes you’re a racist,” said commentator Ryan Girdusky.

Former Florida state Rep. Ben Graber also ripped El-Sayed for targeting the second lady.
“El Sayed is now attacking Wives [sic] of US leaders? What a guy,” Graber said on X.
Others accused Abdul El-Sayed of racism.

“You are a racist creep,” journalist Emily Schrader said in response to El-Sayed’s post.
An X account run by Democrats supporting Rogers pointed to the remark as evidence of El-Sayed’s alleged hostility toward women.
“This is why there were ads in the primary correctly highlighting how sexist and misogynistic Abdul is,” the account said. “He has so much contempt for women. If you’re over the politics of division. Reject Abdul El-Sayed.”
Earlier Saturday, El-Sayed also targeted Harp, an aide to President Donald Trump. Far-left media outlets and Democrats online have spent the past two weeks implying that Harp and Trump have an improper relationship.
Trump had blasted El-Sayed at a rally for campaigning with far-left socialist Hasan Piker, who has said that “America deserved 9/11.”
“Natalie, I think he’s had a little too much iPad for the week. He needs his rest,” El-Sayed said in response.
GOP strategist Matt Whitlock posted screenshots of the attacks against Harp and Usha Vance and blasted El-Sayed’s campaign.
“This is what I’m talking about,” Whitlock said. “Just a bad campaign, bad candidate, bad instincts. Sitting at home on a Saturday morning tweeting bad takes that any normal campaign would shut down.”
Tudor Dixon, a former Republican candidate for Michigan governor, questioned what the posts could reveal about how Abdul El-Sayed would treat women if elected.
“He goes after Usha. He goes after Natalie [Harp]. This coward picks on women who are not in his fight. Imagine how he would treat female staffers in the halls of Congress,” Dixon said.
