Since the Republican National Convention, where Ohio Senator JD Vance was selected as former President Trump's vice presidential running mate, the mainstream media has been relentless in its efforts to tarnish Vance's reputation.
From labeling him as "weird" to casting him in a negative light, media personalities and Democrat politicians alike have consistently worked to portray Vance as the antagonist in this political narrative. This campaign against Vance seems to be an orchestrated attempt to undermine his credibility, which only goes to show they are frightened that he will relate to voters in Rust Belt states and convince undecided voters to vote for the Trump-Vance ticket.

Now, Fox News host and former South Carolina congressman Trey Gowdy is jumping on the train. Vance was scheduled to appear on Gowdy's show, and prior to the interview, Gowdy dedicated his opening monologue about folks without children who are "some of the finest people" he knows.
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.
The American people are forgiving, if we ask.

He brought on Vance right after his monologue, and Vance responded by saying:
If you look at what the left has done, they have radically taken this out of context and, in fact, aggressively lied about what I’ve said. The left has increasingly become explicitly antichild and antifamily. They’ve encouraged young families not to have children at all because of concerns over climate change.
Gowdy attempted to trap Vance by pointing out that numerous Americans, including former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Senator Tim Scott from South Carolina, and Founding Father George Washington never had biological children. By highlighting these people, Gowdy aimed to challenge Vance's views on the importance of family structure, suggesting that childlessness does not diminish one's ability to serve the country effectively or possess strong leadership qualities. This rhetorical move was intended to put Vance on the defensive and question the validity of his stance on the matter.
Here is a shocker: Vance agreed with Gowdy's assessment because the Fox News host completely missed the point of what Vance was saying in 2021 or purposely misinterpreted it.
Vance said:
Vance agreed with Gowdy’s assessment that “direct offspring are not necessary to be fully invested in the future of this country,” but went on to say being a parent “really does transform your perspective.”
“So this is not a criticism, and was never a criticism, of everybody without children. That is a lie of the left. It is a criticism of the increasingly antiparent and antichild attitude of the left,” Vance said.
It's important to note that Gowdy wanted Tim Scott to become Trump's VP nominee.

Vance concluded by telling Gowdy:
"I’m going to keep on calling that out, because I think it’s important for parents to have a voice,” he said. “I’m proud to be on the ticket with President Trump, a real defender of parents and families."
No matter who Trump chose as VP, the media would have brought up something from the past and pinned it against them. But Vance has handled the situation the right way and shows that he is the fighter that's needed.

Gowdy. Just another in a long line of disappointments.
I want Trey to actually accomplish something and get a different hair dresser.
“what difference does it make?”
I just watched Special Report. Started off with Brit Hume. He’s become an ass-bringing up Palin. Then he cut off a young fella (Continetti?) twice. The network is trying to play both sides. Fair and balanced? You tell me. I’m looking for truth.
Gowdy is a Democrat operative. Lying POS.
They still act like the Democratic Party belonged to liberals like Joe Lieberman.
So they think they can be "fair and balanced".
“All hat and no cattle” Gowdy.
Vance is alright in my book. He’ll make a fine VP and a great President in the future.
Gowdy - alligator mouth and hummingbird ass.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Why is FoxNews putting on Crazy Kamala Harris Rallies? Why do they allow the perverts at the failed and disgraced Lincoln Project to advertise on FoxNews? Even Mr. Kellyanne Conway, a man so badly hurt and humiliated by his wife (she must have done some really NASTY things to him, because he is CRAZY!), is advertising on FoxNews. We have to WIN WITHOUT FOX!

His hair style really is awful, isn’t it?
Trey Gowdy was SO FREAKING WEIRD LAST NIGHT!!! UGH!
If you are looking for truth why are you looking at the legacy media? They are sociopathic.
Gowdy always took the posture of “ I’m going to get to the bottom of this, and there’ll be justice.”
Then NOTHING.
REPEATEDLY.
Maybe he accomplished things I never noticed, but my recollection of him was a big DISAPPOINTMENT. So whatever, Trey.
He must have received the memo from his butt buddy Paul ryhne and Murdoch
The worst part is that he apparently insists.
And I haven’t even looked at any of his videos for sat least 2 years. [He’s PNG to me.]
