CNN
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 dont have a direct stake in this country.
In November 2020, Vance said on a conservative podcast that childless Americans, especially those in the countrys leadership class, were more sociopathic than those with children and made the country less mentally stable. Vance added that the most deranged and most psychotic commentators on Twitter now known as X - were typically childless.
In August 2021, one month after launching his candidacy for the Senate, Vances campaign sent fundraising emails referring to the radical childless leaders in this country following his appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight where he made comments deriding childless cat ladies and leaders running the country. The comments sparked a widespread backlash against Vance when they resurfaced on social media following his nomination to the Republican presidential ticket.
A CNN KFile analysis found several examples over the course of a few years of Vance saying similarly disparaging things when talking about people without children usually while targeting Democratic officials.
There are just these basic cadences of life that I think are really powerful and really valuable when you have kids in your life, Vance said in November 2020 on a conservative podcast. And the fact that so many people, especially in Americas leadership class, just dont have that in their lives.
You know, I worry that it makes people more sociopathic and ultimately our whole country a little bit less, less mentally stable, he said. And of course, you talk about going on Twitter final point Ill make is you go on Twitter and almost always the people who are most deranged and most psychotic are people who dont have kids at home.

(29,880 posts)Without even looking it up, it stands to reason that people with severe mental illness would be statistically less likely to have children. Or even want to have them, for that matter. Hes entered a realm where hes pissing off everyone. Beauty part is, however, hes so weird that he thinks its resonating with people outside his weirdo cohort, and he cant seem to stop himself.
