if you don't have children, JD Vance doesn't want you (miserable "childless cat ladies") in leadership positions. [View all]

JD Vance, Trump’s VP pick, has opposed abortion and LGBTQ+ rights
The first-term senator from Ohio has also taken particular aim at prominent Democrats who do not have children, arguing that political leaders should have a stake in the country’s future through their children.


Vance has also taken particular aim at prominent Democrats who do not have children, arguing that political leaders should have a stake in the country’s future through their children.

In a July 2021 speech to a conservative think tank and subsequent interview with Fox News, Vance criticized “the childless left,” saying, “Why have we let the Democrat Party become controlled by people who don’t have children?”

On both occasions, Vance explicitly called out Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. Cory Booker, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Harris has two stepchildren and Buttigieg and his husband, Chasten welcomed twins in September 2021.

“We are effectively run in this country, via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too,” Vance said in a 2021 interview with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

“If we want a healthy ruling class in this country, we should invest more, we should vote more, we should support people who actually have kids, because those are the people who actually have a direct stake in the future of the country,” Vance added.
