Despite intense backlash to Vance's criticism of "childless cat ladies," Sanders told attendees of Donald Trump's town hall in Flint, Michigan, on Tuesday, "My kids keep me humble." "Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn't have anything keeping her humble," said Sanders, an apparent jab that Harris does not have biological children. Anderson lamented that Sanders was potentially a "really great messenger" to women and young moms, particularly after Sanders spoke at the Republican National Convention and showed a "different side" of Trump. "I also just think it's unwise to continue to attack those of us who don't have children," she said, noting "plenty" of young women who don't have kids who plan to vote, as well as women who are "beyond" their child-bearing years who will as well.
