The internet is ablaze after controversial socialist Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan invoked second ladyUsha Vancein taking a dig at Vice President JD Vance, leading some top voices to question how he would treat female staff should he win in November.

“El Sayed is now attacking Wives [sic] of US leaders?What a guy,” said former Florida state Rep.Ben Graberon X.

El-Sayed, running against Republican former CongressmanMike Rogers, launched the attack on Saturday after Vance slammed him for hisstated adherence to Sharia lawduring a rally in Ohio, suggesting the practice would be completely alien to his grandfather, whom he calls his “Papaw.”

“So do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no…” El-Sayed said, seemingly in reference to the second lady’s Indian ethnicity.

“This is why there were ads in the primary correctly highlighting how sexist and misogynistic Abdul is,” said an X account run by Democrats supporting El-Sayed’s opponent Mike Rogers.“He has so much contempt for women.If you’re over the politics of division.Reject Abdul El-Sayed.”

Others accused El-Sayed of being racist himself.

Earlier in the day, El-Sayed also made a post directed towardNatalie Harp, an aide to PresidentDonald Trump.Far-left media and Democrats online have spent the past two weeks implying that Harp and Trump have an improper relationship.

“Natalie, I think he’s had a little too much iPad for the week.He needs his rest,” El-Sayed said in response to Trump blasting him at a rally for campaigning with far-left socialist Hasan Piker, who has said that “America deserved 9/11.”

“This is what I’m talking about,” said GOP strategist Matt Whitlock, posting screenshots of the posts directed at Harp and Usha Vance.“Just a bad campaign, bad candidate, bad instincts.Sitting at home on a Saturday morning tweeting bad takes that any normal campaign would shut down.”

“He goes after Usha.He goes after Natalie [Harp].This coward picks on women who are not in his fight.Imagine how he would treat female staffers in the halls of Congress,” saidTudor Dixon, a Republican former gubernatorial candidate in Michigan.
