'J.D. Vance is huge anvil on Trump's chances' after new comments emerge: CNN panelist
August 28, 2024
New remarks from J.D. Vance have surfaced about people without children, and a Democratic activist said the Republican vice presidential nominee was an "anvil" around his running mate's neck.
The Ohio Republican senator lashed out at Randi Weingarten, the head of the American Federation of Teachers, in remarks recorded in 2021, suggesting she and others on the left had no right to influence children because they had none of their own.
“You know, 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,” Vance told the Center for Christian Virtue leadership forum moderated by conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt in October 2021. “If she wants to brainwash and destroy the mind of children, she should have some of her own and leave ours the hell alone."

Brad Woodhouse, a Democratic Party activist and president of Protect Our Care, told CNN that Vance was proving to be a "disastrous" choice as Donald Trump's running mate, saying these resurfaced remarks underline his infamous slurs against "childless cat ladies."
"Who does he think he is?" Woodhouse said. "I mean, some people can't have children, some people have circumstances where they don't want children or can't have children at a certain time. I mean, this this is turning off suburban America. There is no doubt in my mind that J.D. Vance is huge anvil on Trump's chances of winning because of stuff like this, and they'll say, 'Well, he made one comment, it was sarcastic.' It's not, it's over and over and over, and it's really as Tim Walz would say, it's weird as hell."
