An audio clip of JD Vance trashing childless women has raised more questions about his viability as Donald Trump’s running mate.
Audio of a speech by Republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance attacking teachers who don’t have children has resurfaced, causing the media to question his viability as Donald Trump’s running mate. The audio was from a talk that Vance gave in 2021 for a forum given by the Center for Christian Virtue. “So many of the leaders of the left, and I hate to be so personal about this, but they’re people without kids trying to brainwash the minds of our children, that really disorients me and disturbs me,” he said to the audience before attacking the American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten.
“Randi Weingarten, who’s the head of the most powerful teachers’ union in the country, she doesn’t have a single child. If she wants to brainwash and destroy the minds of children, she should have some of her own and leave ours the hell alone,”
Vance continued. The clip wound up resurfacing on social media this week and quickly went viral, with the campaign team for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris also sharing it with their audience. When contacted for comment, Vance’s spokesperson Taylor Van Kirk said that the politician “will continue to loudly call this crap out to defend our kids”. Weingarten responded in a post on X, formerly Twitter, writing: “Gross! JD Vance’s comments are sad and insulting to millions of modern families, and school teachers including Catholic nuns, none of whom should be targeted for their family decisions.”
The clip has many observers in the media questioning Vance’s fitness to be Trump’s vice presidential nominee, as he is still fighting backlash over his “childless cat ladies” comment directed at Democrats from 2021, which made its way online after Trump picked him to be his running mate. In a panel discussion on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, analyst Symone Sanders-Townsend expressed her bewilderment. “America, that is just weird. It is weird and it is concerning…This all goes back to this is why vetting is important,” she said before concluding, “I just – I just have to wonder what the vetting of JD Vance was because this is simply insane.”
