就在密歇根州民主党参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德似乎在质疑JD·万斯的祖父会如何看待副总统夫人乌莎·万斯的十年前，万斯曾写道，他的“一大遗憾”就是祖父母从未见过自己的妻子。
“最后，但绝对不是最不重要的，是我亲爱的妻子乌莎，”万斯2016年在回忆录《乡下人的悲歌》的致谢部分写道。他补充道：“……尽管 Mamaw（外婆）和 Papaw（外公）从未见过她是我人生中一大遗憾，但能娶到她，是我最大的幸福。”
上周末，保守派人士就这位密歇根州参议院候选人对第二夫人乌莎·万斯的抨击展开声讨时，这段文字在社交媒体上被反复引用。此次争议发生之际，埃尔赛义德正在密歇根州角逐开放的美国参议院席位，对手是共和党人迈克·罗杰斯。随着这场高风险的大选局势逐渐明朗，这位民主党候选人的言论也受到了更密切的审视。

本月，万斯在俄亥俄州的一场集会上批评了埃尔赛义德过去关于沙里亚法的言论，随后埃尔赛义德提及了万斯的家庭。他辩称，这位密歇根州民主党代表的政党版本，是万斯称之为“Papaw（外公）”的祖父所不会认可的。
“所以我们是不是觉得JD会带着乌莎穿越回去见外公？还是不会……”埃尔赛义德说道。批评人士称这一言论带有种族主义色彩，暗示外公会因为乌莎的印度血统而无法接受她。
批评人士迅速谴责埃尔赛义德，许多人质疑他对女性的态度，还有人提及了万斯的回忆录。
“为什么阿卜杜勒拉赫曼·穆罕默德·埃尔赛义德会认为所有白人中西部祖父母都是种族主义者？”得克萨斯州共和党众议员布兰登·吉尔问道。

“埃尔赛义德就是个彻头彻尾的恶毒、令人作呕的猪。乌莎·万斯是全美备受喜爱的人物，在我看来，副总统万斯最强大的秘密武器就是她，”梅根·麦凯恩说道。“美国女性真的很爱戴她——民主党疯子们，攻击她只会自取灭亡。”
“如果你是密歇根州的农村白人，记住这一点：埃尔赛义德认为你是种族主义者，”评论员瑞安·吉尔达斯基说道。
“你就是个种族主义变态，”记者艾米丽·施拉德在回应埃尔赛义德的帖子时说道。

A decade before Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed appeared to question how JD Vance’s grandfather would have regarded Usha Vance, the vice president wrote that one of his “great regrets” was that his grandparents never got to meet his wife.
“Last, but certainly not least, is my darling wife, Usha,” Vance wrote in 2016 in the acknowledgments of his memoir “Hillbilly Elegy.” He added, “… though it is one of the great regrets of my life that Mamaw and Papaw never met her, it is the source of my greatest joy that I did.”
The passage was cited repeatedly on social media over the weekend as conservatives dragged the Michigan Senate candidate over his swipe at second lady Usha Vance. The controversy comes as El-Sayed fights for Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat against Republican Mike Rogers, putting the Democrat’s rhetoric under a brighter spotlight as the high-stakes general election takes shape.

El-Sayed invoked Vance’s family after the vice president criticized his past comments about Sharia law at an Ohio rally this month, arguing that the Michigan Democrat represented a version of the party his grandfather — whom Vance called “Papaw” — would not have recognized.
“So do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no…” El-Sayed said, a remark critics called racist and interpreted as an insinuation that Papaw would not have accepted Usha because of her Indian heritage.
Critics were quick to call out El-Sayed, with many questioning his attitude toward women and others pointing to Vance’s book.
“Why does Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed just assume that all White midwestern grandparents are racist?” asked Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas.

“El-Sayed is an absolute vile, abhorrent, PIG. Usha Vance is a beloved figure in our country and in my opinion Vice President Vance’s most powerful secret weapon,” said Meghan McCain. “Women in America truly love her – attack her at your own peril democrat psychopaths. It will backfire.”
“If you’re a rural White American living in Michigan, just remember El-Sayed believes you’re a racist,” said commentator Ryan Girdusky.
“You are a racist creep,” said journalist Emily Schrader in response to El-Sayed’s post.

Fox News Digital reached out to El-Sayed and the Vance family for comment.
“Hillbilly Elegy,” published in 2016, chronicled Vance’s upbringing in Middletown, Ohio, and his family’s Appalachian roots in Kentucky, with his grandparents — whom he called “Mamaw” and “Papaw” — playing central roles in the memoir and his childhood.
