'Psychotic': CNN deep dive exposes new depths of J.D. Vance's disdain for childless women

Raw Story  

Donald Trump's running mate Sen. J.D. CNN uncovered Tuesday multiple moments when Trump's running mate — facing a severe backlash for his "childless cat lady" comment — accused people without children of being psychotic. Vance called childless Americans “more sociopathic” and less “less mentally stable" on a conservative podcast in November 2020, CNN reports. "I worry that it makes people more sociopathic and ultimately our whole country a little bit less, less mentally stable.” Senate campaign emails from August 2021 warned against “radical childless leaders in this country" who wanted to inflict their own misery on others. "We think babies are good and we think babies are good because we’re not sociopaths.” Vance echoed his notorious cat lady comment on Twitter in September 2021, writing that they "must be stopped."
