JD Vance has launched a fierce attack on Michigan Senate candidate Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed over past comments concerning Sharia law. Vance pointed to El-Sayed’s reported argument that criticism of Sharia law was rooted in white supremacy, contrasting the position with what he called “his papaw’s Democrat Party.” The remarks have triggered a fresh political clash over religion, American values and the direction of the Democratic Party.
