Trey Gowdy has long held an unearned reputation amongst many conservatives for being some sort of anti-establishment, America First warrior.
That couldn’t be further from the truth, though.
And Trey Gowdy proved it when he recently exposed himself as an establishment RINO by parroting this woke attack against J.D. Vance.
It’s who he’s always been
Democrats and their media allies have unleashed an all-out assault on Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) since the moment former President Donald Trump tapped him as his Vice Presidential running mate.
They’ve taken to calling him “weird” for simply believing in traditional American values and opposing their woke extremist agenda.
And they’ve especially seized on a comment Vance made during a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson in which he attacked Democrats’ anti-family agenda as something dreamed up by miserable “childless cat ladies.”
Working-class Americans, of course, know what the Senator was getting at because they live in the real world and have experienced Democrats’ attacks on families firsthand.
But establishment RINOs, like former Congressman turned Fox News talking head Trey Gowdy, who hasn’t left their multi-million dollar ivory towers in years, decided to pile on Senator Vance.
Gowdy decided to use his platform to wax poetically about the childless women supposedly in his life in order to virtue signal to woke Democrats that he’s on their side.
And apparently, the childless women in his life are a couple of South American Catholic nuns he randomly met at an airport.
“I thought about a stormy day at Reagan National Airport, where I met two women desperately trying to get home to South America,” Gowdy said, reading from a teleprompter script written by a producer. “I was trying to get home to South Carolina. We spent the whole day together, finally making it to Charlotte, and then somehow, we got them on a flight to Houston. They were headed to visit family in South America before returning to their new home called America.”
“And when we parted ways, they said they’d like to pray for me — as their way of saying thanks for the day spent together. And I assured them, it’s too late to help me. But I do have a friend who’s expecting, and she got some tough news about her unborn child. Would they please pray for her instead?” he added.
“They’re Catholic nuns,” Gowdy said as if he actually believed nuns were a target of Vance’s comment. “Not childless, dedicated to God. Love this country, living lives of service to others.’
Gowdy and AOC are two peas in a pod
Gowdy went on to claim that some of the best people he knows are childless.
“And it’s not just Catholic nuns. Some of the finest people I know don’t have children, teachers and, guidance counselors and lawyers and doctors. And they love other people’s children enough to teach and guide and protect and minister to them. Some people choose not to have children. Others desperately want them, but they can’t,” Gowdy concluded.
Of course, Gowdy’s entire soliloquy was intellectually dishonest because it was based on a Democrat narrative that took Vance’s comment completely out of context in order to attack him.
As a matter of fact, in Vance’s full comment – which Gowdy and his like-minded Democrat pals have conventionally ignored – he specifically said he wasn’t talking about women who couldn’t have children despite the Fox News talking heads’ claim.
“A lot of people are unable to have kids for very complicated and important reasons,” Vance said at the time. “There are people, of course, for biological reasons, medical reasons that can’t have children. The target of these remarks is not them.”
The Senator was abundantly clear that he was talking about ruling-class Democrats who push their anti-family agenda by gaslighting Americans into believing that having children is somehow bad not only for themselves but the world as a whole.
For example, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Socialist-NY) admitted on an Instagram livestream in 2019 that the so-called “scientific consensus” around Democrats’ catastrophic climate change narrative – which doesn’t exist, by the way – leads Americans to question whether they should have children.
“There’s scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult,” AOC claimed. “And it does lead young people to have a legitimate question: Is it OK to still have children?”
"There's scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult. And it does lead young people to have a legitimate question: Is it OK to still have children?” @AOC asked, in all seriousness in 2019.

Trey Gowdy spent his career in Washington, D.C., feigning anger and righteous indignation over issues that were low-hanging fruit in order to create the perception that he was a “true conservative” and some sort of man of the people.
But he continues to expose himself for the virtue-signaling establishment RINO he truly is with each passing day.
