Make New York Post a Preferred Source HOWELL, Mich. — Vice President JD Vance ripped Democratic Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed as a “psychopath” during a trip to Michigan Tuesday — claiming that the lefty candidate was “ashamed” of the state, is pushing “anti-white racial hatred” and will likely kill off the local auto industry.
Vance used his high-profile visit to make a last-ditch pitch to swing voters that El-Sayed was an unacceptable radical — as polls show him virtually tied with or leading Republican Mike Rogers one week from Election Day.
“Abdul El-Sayed is a little bit of a psychopath, and we’re going to just try to make the argument as well as we can and help Mike out a little bit,” Vance said before boarding Air Force Two en route to a rally attended by several hundred people outside Detroit.
