Democrats are not relenting on the attack lines against Sen. J.D. Vance for his ‘childless cat lady’ comments – but now some feel it is going too far.
An MSNBC contributor claims that Vance is ‘racist’ and only wants ‘more white children’ in the U.S. after the Republican vice presidential nominee said his comments were criticism of anti-children liberals.
One major problem is that the Ohio Senator has three biracial children of his own with his wife Usha, who is the daughter of Indian immigrants.
‘JD Vance wants only white children in America so much that she married a woman of color and had biracial kids,’ one X user wrote.
MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire noted the statistic that more Americans are intentionally choosing to remain childless and that the reemergence of the 2021 remarks have ‘politically damaged’ Vance.
MSNBC contributor Molly Jong-Fast says Sen. J.D. Vance’s ‘childless cat lady’ comments are racist because she claims he only wants more ‘white children’ in the U.S.
Contributor Molly Jong-Fast, who has now locked her X account, said on Morning Joe on Tuesday that Vance’s perspective is authoritarian and racist.
‘What’s interesting is that this is this natalism that comes from an authoritarian playbook, right?’ John-Fast said. ‘That there needs to be more white children, right? That’s the idea – that this is about great replacement theory racism, right?’
‘This is what this is,’ she insisted. ‘So don’t misunderstand it for him wanting more children. He wants a certain kind of racist thing.’
Tucker Carlson biographer Chadwick Moore wrote on X: ‘Wacko on MSNBC says JD Vance wants more ‘white children.’ Which I guess is why he married an Indian woman and has biracial kids?’
And Heritage Action Communications Director Cody Sargent sarcastically quipped that Jong-Fast’s claim is ‘probably news to Sen. Vance’s wife Usha, a first generation Indian-American, and their biracial kids.’
The entire attack line against Vance stems from a 2021 interview with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
‘We are effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too,’ he said at the time.
‘How does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?’ he added.
Vance is married to Usha, who is the daughter of Indian immigrants. They have three biracial children together Ewan, 6, Vivek, 4, and Mirabel, 2
Vance has three mixed-race children, Ewan, 6, Vivek, 4, and Mirabel, 2 with wife Usha, who he met when the two attended Yale together.
Trump has come to his running mate’s defense, claiming he isn’t bothered by his ‘childless cat lady’ comments because it proves he has ‘family values.’
‘He loves family. It’s very important to him,’ Trump told Fox host Laura Ingraham during an interview aired Monday evening.
‘He grew up in a very interesting family situation. And he feels family is good,’ Trump added of Vance. ‘And I don’t think there’s anything wrong in saying that.’
