Abdul El-Sayed: Trump Was the One Who Started Talking About Wives; ‘My Wife Was Born Here and His Wife Wasn’t’

EXCERPT:

EL-SAYED: “No, look, my anger with the vice president of the United States is the fact that he is underwriting an administration that is making us poorer and sicker, underwriting public policy he knows are ridiculous. And he wrote about them in Hillbilly Elegy. Remember that? Now we’re fighting a stupid war with the Iranians he doesn’t know how to get us out of. We’ve got a trade war with Canada. People in my state are paying $5,600 a year to underwrite his vanity. And the man knows better. That’s the thing. The man knows better. And meanwhile, do you remember who brought wives into the whole thing? That was Donald Trump. A couple of days after I was nominated, he tweeted a picture of him and his wife and me and my wife, trying to draw attention to the idea that somehow my wife is less American than his wife, except for my wife was born here and his wife wasn’t.”
