JD Vance, Trumps VP pick, has opposed abortion and LGBTQ+ rightsThe 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 countrys 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 countrys 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 dont 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 theyve 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.

As a childless cat lady, the only leadership in my house comes from my childless cats.

It just shows how selfish HE is - that he can't imagine caring for future generations if they aren't his own children

Ironically, the "childless left" more active against global warming than the "love the fetus hate the child" right. . nt
