Unearthed videoJD Vance said childless elites make the U.S. “dangerous.” It was too much for a Newsmax interviewer.
"In a previously unreported interview, JD Vance ranted in 2021 that the country has become a “dangerous place to live” because of childless elites. Vance’s remarks were met with skepticism from a seemingly unlikely source: Jenn Pellegrino, a conservative Newsmax host who was interviewing him.
Vance, who was previously a conservative commentator, has frequently criticized people for being childless. Media Matters has documented numerous instances of such remarks made in right-wing media, and senior fellow Matt Gertz has noted that the right-wing media bubble has incentivized politicians like Vance to make toxic remarks.
In one instance, Vance attacked people “who can't have kids” because they “passed the biological period when it was possible” as “miserable” people who pursue “racial or gender equity” to give “their life meaning.” Those comments, which were first reported by Media Matters, resurfaced over the weekend and increased scrutiny on Trump’s running mate."
