It’s not just ‘cat ladies’: JD Vance has a history of disparaging people without kids

Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance has a history of making disparaging remarks toward people without children, a CNN KFile review of his comments shows, including fundraising off his now-infamous “childless cat lady” remarks in a series of emails that called Democratic leaders “childless sociopaths” who “don’t have a direct stake in this country.”

CNN

In Nov 2020, #JDVance said on a #conservative podcast that #childless Americans, especially those in the country’s “leadership class,” were “more #sociopathic” than those w/children & made the country “less mentally stable.” #Vance added that the “most #deranged” & “most #psychotic” commentators on Twitter – now X - were typically childless.

In Aug 2021, one month after launching his candidacy for the #Senate, #Vance’s campaign sent #fundraising emails referring to the “#radical #childless leaders in this country” following his appearance on “#TuckerCarlson Tonight” where he made comments deriding #ChildlessCatLadies & leaders running the country.…

#JDVance later tried to clean up his comments on Megyn Kelly’s podcast last wk.

“Obviously, it was a sarcastic comment. I’ve got nothing against cats,” said #JDVance, adding that his remarks were not about criticizing people w/o children, but rather focused on policy [?] & claimed the #Democratic Party has become “anti-family” & “anti-child.”

A CNN KFile analysis found SEVERAL examples over the course of a few YEARS of #Vance saying similarly disparaging things when talking about people w/o children —usually while targeting Democratic ofcls.

“There are just these basic cadences of life that I think are really powerful & really valuable when you have kids in your life, & the fact that so many people, especially in America’s leadership class, just don’t have that in their lives…I worry that it makes people more #sociopathic & ultimately our whole country a little bit less…mentally stable…go on Twitter & almost always the people who are most #deranged & most #psychotic are people who don’t have kids,” #JDVance said in 2020 on a podcast

In Sept 2021, #JDVance tweeted that “cat ladies…must be stopped” in response to a report that a higher percentage of Americans fear having children because of #ClimateChange.

In another tweet a month later, #Vance wrote, “Our country’s low birth rates have made many elites #sociopaths.”

#Vance would later fundraise off those 2021 #TuckerCarlson remarks in a series of emails….

1 #Vance fundraising email from Aug 2021:
“…I needed to speak DIRECTLY to patriots like you about the serious issue of #radical #childless leaders in this country. We can’t have people who don’t have a direct stake in this country making our most important decisions.
“We’ve allowed ourselves to be dominated by childless #sociopaths - they’re invested in NOTHING because they’re not invested in this country’s children. Fighting back won’t be easy - our childless opponents have a lot of free time…”

Another #JDVance fundraising email reads, “Our country is basically run by #childless Democrats who are miserable in their own lives & want to make the rest of the country miserable too… What I want to know is: why have we turned our country over to people who don’t have a direct stake in it?”

…In a 2019 speech, #JDVance articulated his belief in the positive impact that children have on society & individual lives. He explained that many of his views on children & society stem from observing how becoming a father can transform young men from being “driftless” to becoming “rooted” & “grounded” members of society.

@Nonilex Fuck him. It is not a child's job to make a better man out of an asshole. Or a better person out of a parent, period.

You want better men, JD Vance? First, BECOME ONE. Second, invest money in education & community. This is the burden of YOUR lack of responsibility and empathy. Stop dumping it on the backs of women and children.

@courtcan @Nonilex I was a couple months shy of 50 when I married. When people asked me why it took me so long my explanation was "It took me that long to become someone worth marrying."

Marriage doesn't make men better; (many) women choose to marry better men. And what creeps like Vance hate is that women HAVE that choice — to wait for a man who's worth marrying, to leave a man who isn't right for them, or to eschew men entirely. Because they know that women who CAN choose won't choose them.

@pooserville @courtcan @Nonilex I never understood the whole 'incel' nonsense... Just seems to be a bunch of whiny frat-boys who totally lack the self-awareness to realize that the reason they can't find anyone willing to shag them is because they're utterly self-absorbed, very stupid, probably neglect basic personal hygiene, and that most normal people could have a more insightful conversation with a ham sandwich.

@bytebro @pooserville @Nonilex I think with "incels," it comes down to never having learned to make a genuine emotional connection with another human, no matter what type of relationship. Something in childhood was missing or never got fully developed -- resulting in a severe attachment disorder and leading to a sense of entitlement as well as a lack of empathy.

That's what's broken about Trump. He stopped developing emotionally around age 3-4. And I'm not being hyperbolic. He's missing basic

@courtcan @bytebro @pooserville @Nonilex have any of you looked at these maga women? They look mean and nasty and frankly wierd. Lines of hate carved into their faces.
