Beverly Vance Aikins told a podcast host on Wednesday that she would "probably punch the guy" if she ever saw Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. The vice president’s mother made this blunt comment after weeks of the Democrat attacking her son’s family. She appeared on the Tomi Lahren is Fearless show to address the personal nature of the attacks.
El-Sayed has spent months making cheap shots at Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance. He even referred to their four children as "brown kids" in a recent podcast appearance. This did not sit well with the grandmother, who told Tomi Lahren, "I think that man’s an idiot."
She loves her daughter-in-law as her own and will not stand for insults against her grandchildren. Aikins stated that El-Sayed’s obsession with the Vance family comes down to plain old jealousy. She noted her son is 42 years old and holds the second highest office in the land.

The Democratic candidate first made these racially charged comments during an April appearance on "The Allen Analysis Show." He suggested the children would one day confront their father over his politics. He also claimed the vice president thinks his own kids are "less American than everyone else."
Per RedState, Aikins told the host that these attacks make her "mad, honestly." She explained that the man does not know what kind of person her son really is. Yet she added that she will not take physical action because it would get her in trouble.
According to reports, the grandmother said she would just "go with the flow" despite her anger. She emphasized that El-Sayed does not know JD Vance or the good character of the family. The comments about the children and Usha Vance have drawn sharp rebukes from the family.
This story matters because it shows how low political opponents will go to win an election. They are targeting a family with four young children who did nothing wrong. Aikins defended her daughter-in-law by saying, "I love Usha as if she were my own daughter."
The candidate tried to create drama by suggesting the marriage was awkward or wrong. He even insinuated that the vice president’s late grandfather would have disapproved of the union. This is a direct attack on the values of faith and family that many Americans hold dear.
El-Sayed is currently battling Republican Mike Rogers in a hotly contested race for the Michigan Senate seat. His focus on the Vances’ personal life suggests he lacks a strong policy record to run on. He even told the Second Lady to "get out" and that she still has time to leave her husband.
The mother’s reaction proves that some lines should never be crossed in public life. She called the candidate an "idiot" and said, "Those are my babies." This simple statement carries more weight than any political speech could.
Aikins made it clear that she is not interested in turning the other cheek for these insults. She told the host, "Jealousy is the only thing I can think of" regarding the candidate's behavior. The family remains united against these personal attacks.
This situation shows that the political climate has become too toxic for our children. Parents want their kids to grow up without being labeled or insulted by strangers. The Vance family stands firm while the candidate continues to make a fool of himself.
