Vice President JD Vance’s mom, Beverly Vance Aikins, says she’d like to clock Michigan Democratic Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed after his repeated attacks on the second family.
“I’d probably punch the guy if I ever seen him and then that would get me in trouble. So, I’ll just go with the flow,” said Aikins to Outkick and Fox News host Tomi Lahren when asked how she felt about El-Sayed’s crude comments.
Aikins sat down with Lahren for a wide-ranging interview about her triumph over opioid addiction, Netflix’s “Hillbilly Elegy” and her son’s rise to the vice presidency. Her comments come as El-Sayed has repeatedly taken aim at Vance and his family.

Lahren asked Aikins if she laughs off comments like El-Sayed’s or if she gets mad.
“I mean, it makes me mad, honestly, because he doesn’t know JD and he doesn’t know, you know, what type of person he is, and I do, but in the long run. I’m not going to do anything about it… I’d probably punch the guy if I ever seen him and then that would get me in trouble, said Aikins in jest. “So, I’ll just go with the flow.”
El-Sayed made comments about second lady Usha Vance and the Vance children during an April appearance on “The Allen Analysis Show,” clips of which have recently resurfaced.
“I think they’re jealous, honestly. I mean, JD is 42 years old. He’s handsome. He’s the Vice President of the of the United States,” said Aikins.

“He’s got a beautiful wife, four beautiful children and jealousy is the only thing I can think of,” she added. “I mean, he can take all the shots he wants. It’s going to go, you know, it’s going to get no merit from any of us.”
El-Sayed suggested in April that Vice President JD Vance’s political views are at odds with his own children’s biracial background.
“JD Vance has brown kids who he thinks are less American than everyone else. Like that’s wild to look at your own kids and be like you don’t actually belong as much in this country that I brought you into,” said El-Sayed. “Bro it must break you every time you hug your own kids.”
The Michigan socialist said that he hopes Vance’s kids grow up to “undo” the vice president’s politics.

He also appeared to call for the second lady to leave her husband, saying, “Usha get out…you’ve still got time.”
El-Sayed more recently launched the attack after Vance slammed him for his stated adherence to Sharia law during 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.
The vice president addressed El-Sayed’s more recent remarks while rallying for GOP Senate nominee Mike Rogers in Michigan.
“I actually think that the people of Michigan think it’s kind of weird when you talk about another guy’s wife,” Vance said.

“But whatever you want to talk about, Abdul, keep my wife’s name the hell out of your mouth, because she’s way out of your league,” he later added in the speech.
Fox News Digital reached out to the office of the Vice President and El-Sayed’s campaign for comment.
