New audio reveals what Donald Trump's running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) said he believes is the lone purpose of women who no longer ovulate.
The political news station Heartland Signal took to X Wednesday to share a podcast interview from April 2020 in which Vance discussed the role his mother-in-law played in raising his son.
"It makes him a much better human being to have exposure to his grandparents," Vance said.
"That's the whole purpose of the post-menopausal female," Eric Weinstein, host of “The Portal,” said.
Vance replied, "Yes."

The pair continue to discuss what the podcaster described as the "weird, unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman."
Vance explains how Lakshmi Chilukuri, mother of his wife, Usha, and a professor of molecular biology, took a yearlong sabbatical from teaching to help her daughter take care of their baby.
"This is what you do," Vance said.
Weinstein clarified, "A biology professor, PhD, drops what they're doing to immediately tend to the needs of a new mother with her infant?"
Vance confirmed that characterization was correct and described the decision as not fiscally efficient — arguing a college professor would have the disposable income to send her daughter money for childcare — but worth it.
"That is the thing that the hyper-liberalized economics wants you to do," Vance said. "The economic logic of always prioritizing paid wage labor over other ways of contributing to society...it's actually a consequence of a sort of fundamental liberalism that is ultimately going to unwind and collapse upon itself."
This adds a new category to the growing list of voter blocs upon which Vance has expressed controversial decisions.
Vance has repeatedly dubbed childless Americans "sociopaths," mocked single women as "cat ladies" and managed to outrage the Pokemon fan community by admitting he told his son to "shut the hell up" about one of its characters.
Responded former prosecutor and political commentator Andrew Weissmann on Wednesday, "It just gets worse."
UPDATE: Vance spokesperson Taylor Van Kirk provided Raw Story a comment denying Vance agreed with the comment.
"The media is dishonestly putting words in JD's mouth - of course he does not agree with what the host said. JD reacted to the first part of the host's sentence, assuming he was going to say: 'that's the whole purpose of spending time with grandparents.' It's a disgrace that the media is lying about JD instead of holding Kamala Harris accountable for her policies that caused sky high prices for groceries and everyday necessities, a disaster at the southern border, and a historic drug overdose epidemic.”
