Stephen A. Smith Presses Abdul El-Sayed Over His Feud With JD Vance — El-Sayed Fires Back by Accusing Trump of Dragging Their Wives Into the Fight Stephen A. Smith: You’re not going to get into a fight with the Vice President of the United States, are you? He told you to keep his wife’s name out of your mouth. Abdul El-Sayed: My anger with the vice president is that he’s supporting an administration making Americans poorer and sicker. We’re fighting a war with Iran that he doesn’t know how to get us out of, and a trade war with Canada that’s costing people in my state $5,600 a year. The man knows better. And who brought wives into this in the first place? Donald Trump. Shortly after I was nominated, he posted a picture of himself and his wife alongside me and my wife, trying to suggest that somehow my wife was less American than his. My wife was born here. His wasn’t. So if JD Vance doesn’t want to talk about wives, perhaps he should talk to his boss about why he brought spouses into it. And when he suggests his late grandfather would be horrified that someone with my name and faith is running for office, we should ask who else wouldn’t be included in his version of America. That’s the hypocrisy I think JD Vance doesn’t want to discuss.
