JD Vance: US is run by ‘a bunch of childless cat ladies’
In a 2021 interview, Carlson welcomed Vance to the show and asked him to explain his position on what he called “no child left.”
“We are effectively run in this country … by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable in their lives and the decisions they’ve made, and so they want to make the whole country miserable,” Vance replied. “It’s just a basic fact. You look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, the AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez), the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people who don’t have children.”
(Harris has two children with her husband, Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff.)
Vance argued that people who have children have a “direct stake” in the country’s future, and therefore deserve votes and support in the debate.
Vance writes some 2021 ideas as ‘thought experiment’
Speaking on ABC News’ “This Week” Sunday, Vance said his views on giving more options to parents were not part of his policy platform.
“It’s not a strategic proposal. It’s a thought experiment, right?” Vance said. “However, there are policy reasons that support my view that the country should be part of the family, isn’t it?”
In interviews, Vance also recounted the story of receiving large unexpected medical bills when his wife gave birth to their second child, arguing for an end to extraordinary medical bills for care related to giving birth.
He also repeatedly criticized Harris for his position on family policies, lifting school closures and requiring masks for children during the COVID-19 pandemic as an example of anti-family policies in the “State of the Union” by CNN and Dana Bash.

He may have been referring to the moment last year when Harris said that young climate leaders had spoken to him about not having children because of “climate change concerns,” even though he did not specifically advocate that idea, according to FactCheck.org.

In launching his 2021 presidential campaign, Vance repeatedly called for expanding the child care tax credit and making it more affordable for families.
