J.D. Vance is undergoing the predictable media smear campaign that all Republican candidates are expected to face.
But he is proving that he is more than ready to weather the storm by the Democrat-allied media.
And J.D. Vance just fired a secret back on Trey Gowdy that will leave Kamala Harris fuming in rage.
Vance fights back against fake news media
Over the last week, Democrats and their media allies have been running a series of attacks against J.D. Vance (R-OH) over his comments in 2021 claiming that “childless cat ladies” run the Democrat Party.
When Vance appeared recently on Fox News, host Trey Gowdy asked him about those comments while noting some historical, well known figures that also did not have children.
“Dr. Condi Rice does not have children, and neither does my friend, your colleague, Tim Scott,” started Gowdy. “George Washington did not have biological children, and neither did James Madison.”
“So I think you will agree with me that direct offspring are not necessary to be fully invested in the future of this country,” he suggested.
Vance took this moment to fire back at his critics over their obvious and manipulative lies about what he had said.
He pointed out that he was making the point that the Left needed to be called out for their explicitly anti-family ideology.
“If you look at what the Left has done, they have radically taken this out of context and, in fact, aggressively lied about what I’ve said,” retorted Vance.
“What I do think is true, Trey, and this goes to the heart of what I was talking about three years ago in those comments, but it’s going to be something I continue to talk about, is that the Left has increasingly become explicitly anti-child and anti-family,” he argued.
Vance explained that the Left had manufactured a sense of fear and anxiety about starting a family.
He provided the example that the Left has been working to convince young people that having more kids causes climate change.
“They’ve encouraged young families not to have children at all because of concerns over climate change,” he started.
“They’ve suggested that people who do have children are somehow being selfish when I think being a parent is actually the most selfless thing that you can do, and again, really does transform your perspective,” Vance added.
Kamala Harris makes anti-family comments
Last fall, Vice President Kamala Harris participated in a tour of colleges where she suggested that there was an up-and-coming problem of “climate anxiety.”
She said that this was scaring parents out of having children.
“We’re not going to stop fighting for that,” she started. “Because young people said we’re not leaving it to other people to decide how we’re dealing with the climate crisis.”
“You know, I’ve heard young leaders talk with me about a term they’ve coined, ‘climate anxiety,’” Harris claimed.
“Which is fear of the future and the unknown of whether it makes sense for you to even think about having children, whether it makes sense for you to think about aspiring to buy a home because what will this climate be?” she added.
It's almost like these people don't want young people starting families or something. Really weird stuff. https://t.co/b3dot3ZCOh

Vance resurfaced these recent comments when he shared with Gowdy that he had put together plans to draw attention to the fact that parents can clearly see how the Democrat Party is ruining the lives of kids.
“There’s one more thing I’m going to say on this, Trey,” started Vance. “I think a lot of parents and a lot of non-parents look at our public policy over the last four years and ask, how did we get to this place?”
Vance brought up how the Democrats were shutting down schools and mandated masks for young children, which severely impacted their social and educational development during COVID.
On top of this, Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party has been trying to make it much more expensive to start a family.
“How did we get to a place where Kamala Harris is calling for an end to the child tax credit?” asked Vance. “How do we get to a place where we were masking toddlers years into the pandemic?”
“I think it’s because we radically under-represent the perspective of parents in our public discourse,” he concluded.
