Beverly Vance Aikins criticizes Abdul El-Sayed on Tomi Lahren's show over comments about JD Vance's family

Beverly Vance Aikins, mother of Vice President JD Vance, appeared on OutKick's 'Tomi Lahren is Fearless' on September 3, 2026, and called Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed 'an idiot,' saying she would 'probably punch' him over comments he made about her son's family. El-Sayed had previously made remarks insinuating Vance's grandfather would have rejected Usha Vance due to her Indian heritage and that Vance views his mixed-race children as 'less American.' JD Vance had earlier responded to El-Sayed, telling him to keep his wife's name 'out of your mouth.'

The split, in one line

Breitbart frames El-Sayed as a Sharia-practicing racist dividing on race, while The Hill sticks to the 'probably punch' quote as the news hook, omitting Breitbart's extensive editorializing and personal attacks on El-Sayed.
