Vance only offered a selective list..
ETA: I should have mentioned that this was part of his listing of unmarried 'childless cat ladies'
Vance mentioned Vice President Kamala Harris, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg specifically. But he failed to mention the fact that some major right-wing pundits — including author Ann Coulter and the late radio host Rush Limbaugh — haven't had biological children.
***
USA Today's Natalie Neysa Alund reports, "The video had more than 25 million views on X as of Wednesday, (July 24), and Vance's 'childless cat ladies' comments had sparked an uproar from Swiftie fans and beyond…. Swift, who endorsed now-President Joe Biden and Harris back in 2020, has not yet endorsed anyone for president in 2024."

This is sad. Gabby Giffords speaks about how IVF was stolen from them when she was shot. They were in the process... x.com/GabbyGiffords/status/1816625196331352545Democratic Florida Senate candidate Mike Harvey responded to Giffords with his support, calling her and Kelly’s family “a true American success story.” “For anyone, especially a low hanging freshman senator, to say anything else isn’t just an insult, it’s evil,” Harvey wrote. “The type of evil you can’t pray for, it’s the kind you have to cast out.” Vance... May he rot somewhere very hot! |

Say what?? Vance is going have women checked with a stick +/- before they can leave their state.. Or to have federal posses to make sure women don't leave the state for nefarious reason. Black women ? Oh right the replacement workers... The account that shared the audio called it a "stunning leak," and slammed the Ohio senator for calling for a "federal response to stop women from traveling from red states to blue states to receive reproductive healthcare." x.com/MumOf2RatBags/status/1816676015957246421x.com/Folkmusings_/status/1816654886655893995 |

I just have to wonder, why are idiots like Vance so stupid as to not think that 'childless cat ladies' --and men, and everyone else who isn't married with 2.4 kids and a dog- are STILL THEIR CONSTITUENTS TOO.
So what's the point of saying all legislators should be married with children to 'relate' to their constituents?? That's just such FAULTY LOGIC!!! But then again, I forget sometimes- they've never been logical- just evil.

Re: whether Harris can be on the upcoming ballots. Speaker Johnson thinks not. 48 of 50 states have responded that they have no rules to support Johnson's claims.. A new survey of election law in all 50 states apparently destroys House Speaker Mike Johnson's claims about Vice President Kamala Harris' eligibility for the ballot. The Louisiana Republican argued that legal "impediments" in some states would prevent Democrats from switching out President Joe Biden as the nominee after he withdrew from the race, but election authorities from both parties in at least 48 states told CNN that no obstacles would prevent Harris from appearing on ballots if she becomes the official presidential nominee. *** "You can even fundraise off of a lawsuit, even if you're not going to ultimately win. To this point we know that Trump allies certainly have discussed the potential legal implications of switching to Harris. At this point it's unclear if there'll be challenges, but it appears pretty clear from our reporting that, on this issue, they would not be successful." Experts told CNN that there would be no issue with Harris appearing on the ballot because Biden was never named as the official nominee and Democrats never submitted his name to the states as their nominee. “Political parties nominate their presidential and vice-presidential candidates at their conventions and then inform the State Board of Elections of those persons’ names," said Patrick Gannon, spokesperson for the bipartisan North Carolina State Board of Elections. "The Democratic Party has not yet had its convention, nor has it informed the State Board of its presidential and vice-presidential candidates’ names." www.rawstory.com/kamala-harris-ballot/ |

I saw a comment that said "This is not who we are... in front of company" and it's absolutely correct. This is who you are and who you've supported. You should be fucking mad.  |

So I saw a post on Twitter from the New Yorker that said that Vance was raised by a single mom for a while then raised by grandparents and he was abusive. He said that was a better life than the chaos of living with his single mom. His grandparents remained married- got pregnant when she was 13 and he was 16 and moved to Ohio. So for him this is NORMAL. Violence and abuse should never be considered normal or ok. I had wondered before reading this if he is abusive now I really wonder since so many abusers come from a home where it occurred.

Vance spent most of his childhood/adolescence in a suburb of Cleveland and apparently someone in the family had enough to pay for his golf lessons.
Appalachian state electeds are saying “He isn’t one of us.”
Drug addiction and abuse happen at all socioeconomic levels, it’s true, but let’s not pretend you grew up barefoot in the holler, JD. That’s just another lie along the lines of Trump pretending he’s self-made.

I thank the childless people who helped pay for my public education for 12 years. I thank the childless people who helped pay for my DS's public education for 15 years. The following is from a Charlie Kirk interview of Vance, 2021 ish.. Donald Trump's pick for his vice presidential running mate once argued that Americans without children should pay a higher tax rate than those who have children, according to a report. *** The report goes on to provide a transcript in which Vance is asked by Kirk, "What are you going to do to change this conversation?" "Everything we have to do should be about moving ideas from unthinkable, to sensible, to popular, to policy," the host said. The report says that, in response, "Vance, who at the time had not yet officially launched his 2022 Senate campaign, suggested that the country needed to 'reward the things that we think are good' and 'punish the things that we think are bad'-- before suggesting that individuals without children should be taxed at a higher rate than those with children." "So, you talk about tax policy, let's tax the things that are bad and not tax the things that are good," Vance purportedly said. "If you are making $100,000, $400,000 a year and you've got three kids, you should pay a different, lower tax rate than if you are making the same amount of money and you don't have any kids. It's that simple."www.rawstory.com/vance-higher-tax-rate-childless-americans/ |

He had a shitty childhood and worse than most but still no reason to encourage a woman to stay in a violent situation. |

Just wanted to point out that parents already pay less than single people as there's a lot of confusion about the tax code. |
