El-Sayed’s comment was a response to that. His claim is that if Vance’s Papaw would have seen a Muslim candidate in the bigoted terms that Vance articulated—as inherently posing a threat to “working people”—then he also might have seen Usha Vance in a similar way.

As a immigrant that grew up in the same Midwest environment, there's no might.

Everyone knows Vance has been simping on Erika Kirk ever since Charlie died. And that he would love to ditch Usha for her, if he could. He's not fooling anyone with this fake rage.

i need some fucking bleach in my eyes from actually reading that shit. They quoted the fucker... “Abdul, keep my wife’s name the hell out of your mouth," The same hillbilly who demeaned his entire 'biological' family.

The vice president’s pose as an enforcer of chivalry and rectitude in our politics is ludicrous on its face, given his apologetics for Donald Trump’s nonstop vicious personal smears. But this episode is of interest for another reason: El-Sayed’s stance articulates a bigger point about Vance’s craven compromises with the MAGA coalition’s racist and white nationalist elements that is 100 percent correct.

This is a great piece.

You're going to have problems with authenticity when your family photo makes you look like a phony.

JD, every time Trump and MAGA attack my family’s religion and smear my wife for wearing a hijab, they are attacking your wife and kids, too.

🤌🏻

Say her name more, I'm not seeing actual rage yet.

Anything Shady Vance reveals is that of Peter Thiel's making. Shady Vance is nothing more than a façade.

Abdul should now say "Hey, Vance, I like your beard... oh, sorry, you said I shouldn't mention Usha, never mind."

A fine article, but maga types aren't going to read and think about it. They just feel

For me it's always a red flag when the word "evil" is used. While it may be used in non-religious ways, it often has a religious context. Religion has caused too many problems for mankind, and that is why the separation of church and state is so important.
