J.D. Vance let Trey Gowdy in on a secret that will have Democrats up in arms

J.D. Vance is facing the typical media smear campaign that any member of a Republican ticket endures.

But he won’t back down.

And J.D. Vance let Trey Gowdy in on a secret that will have Democrats up in arms.

Vance appears on Trey Gowdy’s show to push back on media lies 

Democrats and the media spent a week nonstop attacking U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) for his 2021 comments about the “childless cat ladies” running the Democrat Party.

Fox News host Trey Gowdy asked Vance about those comments noting that Dr. Condi Rice nor George Washington had children.

“Dr. Condi Rice does not have children, neither does my friend, your colleague, Tim Scott. George Washington did not have biological children and neither did James Madison. So I think you will agree with me that direct offspring are not necessary to be fully invested in the future of this country,” Gowdy said. 

Vance took the opportunity to push back at his critics for being opportunistic liars.

The point of the remarks, Vance explained, was to call out the Left for being explicitly anti-family.

“If you look at what the Left has done, they have radically taken this out of context and, in fact, aggressively lied about what I’ve said. What I do think is true, Trey, and this goes to the heart of what I was talking about three years ago in those comments, but it’s going to be something I continue to talk about, is that the Left has increasingly become explicitly anti-child and anti-family,” Vance stated.

Vance said the Left created a sense of anxiety and fear about starting a family by saying having more kids could cause climate change.

“They’ve encouraged young families not to have children at all because of concerns over climate change. They’ve suggested that people who do have children are somehow being selfish when I think being a parent is actually the most selfless thing that you can do, and again, really does transform your perspective,” Vance added.

Kamala Harris’ anti-family comments

Last fall, Vice President Kamala Harris went on a tour of colleges where she warned that parents were too afraid to have children because of what she called “climate anxiety.

“We’re not going to stop fighting for that. Because young people said, we’re not leaving it to other people to decide how we’re dealing with the climate crisis. You know, I’ve heard young leaders talk with me about a term they’ve coined, ‘climate anxiety,’” Harris began.

“Which is fear of the future and the unknown of whether it makes sense for you to even think about having children, whether it makes sense for you to think about aspiring to buy a home because what will this climate be?” Harris added.

Vance referenced these comments when he told Gowdy that he plans to make a major issue out of the fact that parents see the Democrat Party making life difficult for kids.

“There’s one more thing I’m going to say on this, Trey. I think a lot of parents and a lot of non-parents look at our public policy over the last four years and ask, how did we get to this place?” Vance asked.

Democrats, Vance explained, shut down schools and mandated masks that harmed children’s social and educational development skills.

Kamala Harris and the Democrats also want to make it more expensive to start a family.

“How did we get to a place where Kamala Harris is calling for an end to the child tax credit? How do we get to a place where we were masking toddlers years into the pandemic? I think it’s because we radically underrepresent the perspective of parents in our public discourse,” Vance concluded.
