Vance attacks El-Sayed as trafficking in anti-white hatred during Michigan campaign stop

Vice President JD Vance, campaigning in Howell, Michigan, for Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers, accused Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed of engaging in "anti-white racial hatred" and having "zero attachment" to America. Vance also referenced violence in France and streamer Hasan Piker, and declined to fully endorse Trump's "jihadist" label while saying El-Sayed has "weird friends." The race is within the margin of error one week before Election Day.
