A Weird Night on Fox News: Vance Triples Down on Attacks On Women

[brooklynite]

Tonight, Trey Gowdy devoted the opening segment of his show to detail his disapproval of JD Vance’s statements disparaging couples struggling with infertility and “childless” women.

WATCH: Trey Gowdy highlighted how even conservative women are put off by Vance’s anti-woman beliefs - essentially begging him to apologize.

Vance then joined Gowdy’s show as a guest.

Spoiler alert: Vance didn’t apologize.

Key quotes from Gowdy:

“The American people are forgiving, if we ask. Let’s welcome GOP vice presidential candidate, Senator JD Vance.”

“I’ve heard from many women, most of whom are conservative, and they would very much like to vote for President Trump and you, but Senator, they are disappointed.”

“I’m not asking you because it’s making news. I’m asking you more because people are calling me, who very much would like to support you and President Trump… George Washington did not have biological children and neither did James Madison.”

Despite Gowdy’s overtures for forgiveness, Vance dismissed the concerns of conservative women, claiming “it’s very clear the Democrats have tried to take this thing out of context and blow it out of proportion,” and deflecting, saying “that’s not what I said, Trey. If you look at what the left has done, they have radically taken this out of context.”

Harris for President Spokesperson Ammar Moussa released the following statement on JD Vance’s tough Fox News interview:

“Every time JD opens his mouth is a reminder that a Trump-Vance administration would be focused on inserting themselves into every American’s living room, bedroom, and doctor’s office. They want to ban abortion, rip away IVF treatments, and restrict contraceptives. Because in Trump’s Project 2025, the government knows better than you. It would just be weird if it wasn’t so dangerous – and it’s why the stakes this November are so incredibly high.”

1. I love how the Harris campaign immediately hits back on everything the other side says

Reminds me of how my wife always cuts me with tiny little verbal cuts when she knows she's right and I know I'm wrong.

3. I couldn't agree more. And it's perfect for the fast paced "news" age we're in.

Outlets can just lift the statements and include them in their coverage.

2. JD Vance is the gift that keeps on giving

9. He's just like herpes...

4. The Nazis are going to have to kick his dumbass off the ticket.

The Nazis are going to have to kick his dumbass off the ticket! This Fascist idiot is too easily baited and far too stupid to not take the bait.

5. Ben Ghazi Gowdy is still appearing in public? It's the party of weird and creepy.

8. Men without shame...

6. Of course he tripled down.

Vance wants to claim that we're taking what he says out of context. It's an attempt to gaslight everyone into thinking we're somehow twisting his words for some nefarious purpose. Nobody ever asks the obvious when they trot out this blatant dishonesty:

Namely, would JD Vance establish or at least point out the acceptable context for calling women 'childless cat ladies,' or for saying that IVF and contraception will be on the chopping block? Do tell us when it is ever okay to say such despicable things?

And why doesn't our supine media ever ask these questions when interviewing the bigots who make these hateful remarks?

7. Maybe Donald has told him

To double down, like he does himself. Sure fire way to win votes.

10. I love that Spokesperson Ammar Moussa used the word "weird" in the response.

11. Any "apology" would have been useless words anyway, as his beliefs wouldn't actually change.
