Vice President JD Vance criticized the modern Democratic Party during his speech at the Cleveland-Cliffs Middletown Works steel plant in Ohio, arguing that it has abandoned its working-class roots. He pointed to Abdul El-Sayed’s past remarks linking criticism of Sharia law to White supremacy as evidence of this shift.

El-Sayed, a Michigan Senate nominee facing Republican Mike Rogers, made controversial comments about Sharia law during his keynote speech at the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) 2022 annual banquet in Oklahoma. He argued that criticisms of Sharia law were rooted in White supremacy and compared those who support it to forces responsible for historical injustices such as the Trail of Tears and the Tulsa massacre. Vance referred to these remarks, stating that they do not align with his grandfather’s Democratic Party values.
