Abdul El-Sayed hits back after JD Vance calls Michigan Senate hopeful a 'little weasel' who should 'show gratitude'

El-Sayed fired back at Vice President JD Vance after Vance branded the Michigan Democrat a "little weasel" who "should shut his mouth and show a little gratitude to the country that gave him everything." El-Sayed told his own rally crowd he was "not a weasel — what you're talking about is a fucking wolverine." Vance also attacked the White House access-selling row during his Michigan stop in support of Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers.

Vance held his Michigan rally at an indoor sports training facility in Monroe, drawing sharp ridicule online over the modest crowd size and apparent age of attendees.

Trump and Vance have both targeted El-Sayed as the Michigan Senate race intensifies ahead of the midterm elections.
