Tonight, Trey Gowdy devoted the opening segment of his show to detail his disapproval of JD Vances statements disparaging couples struggling with infertility and childless women.
WATCH: Trey Gowdy highlighted how even conservative women are put off by Vances anti-woman beliefs - essentially begging him to apologize.
Vance then joined Gowdys show as a guest.
Spoiler alert: Vance didnt apologize.
Key quotes from Gowdy:
The American people are forgiving, if we ask. Lets welcome GOP vice presidential candidate, Senator JD Vance.
Ive heard from many women, most of whom are conservative, and they would very much like to vote for President Trump and you, but Senator, they are disappointed.
Im not asking you because its making news. Im asking you more because people are calling me, who very much would like to support you and President Trump George Washington did not have biological children and neither did James Madison.
Despite Gowdys overtures for forgiveness, Vance dismissed the concerns of conservative women, claiming its very clear the Democrats have tried to take this thing out of context and blow it out of proportion, and deflecting, saying thats not what I said, Trey. If you look at what the left has done, they have radically taken this out of context.
Harris for President Spokesperson Ammar Moussa released the following statement on JD Vances tough Fox News interview:
Every time JD opens his mouth is a reminder that a Trump-Vance administration would be focused on inserting themselves into every Americans living room, bedroom, and doctors office. They want to ban abortion, rip away IVF treatments, and restrict contraceptives. Because in Trumps Project 2025, the government knows better than you. It would just be weird if it wasnt so dangerous and its why the stakes this November are so incredibly high.

(1,213 posts)Vance wants to claim that we're taking what he says out of context. It's an attempt to gaslight everyone into thinking we're somehow twisting his words for some nefarious purpose. Nobody ever asks the obvious when they trot out this blatant dishonesty:
Namely, would JD Vance establish or at least point out the acceptable context for calling women 'childless cat ladies,' or for saying that IVF and contraception will be on the chopping block? Do tell us when it is ever okay to say such despicable things?
And why doesn't our supine media ever ask these questions when interviewing the bigots who make these hateful remarks?
