CNN busted Trump running mate pick Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) over unearthed recordings in which he refers to childless people as “sociopaths” and “psychotic” amid outrage over similar comments.
Vance has faced outrage this week over a 2021 interview that went viral, in which Vance derided “childless cat ladies” who “don’t really have a direct stake in” the country.
In an interview with Fox News, Vance claimed critics were “aggressively lying” about what he said and that his remarks were “radically taken this out of context.”
But on Tuesday’s edition of CNN News Central, anchor John Berman ran down a fresh set of “context” unearthed by KFile’s Andrew Kaczynski:
SARA SIDNER: (story tease).
Not just childless cat ladies. Turns out there are many more ways Trump’s running mate has described people without children. The word sociopath used a lot.
JOHN BERMAN: Brand new this morning. More than childless cat ladies. Way more new reporting from CNN’s KFile this morning on Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance.
The controversial comments he made questioning the judgment of people without children– they were not a one off. In May of 2019, he told the crowd, quote, “Babies are good because we’re not sociopaths.”
JD VANCE: I’ve seen people who become more attached to their communities, to their families, to their country, because they have children.
So I would say that we should care about declining fertility, not just because it’s bad for our economy, but because we think babies are good– and we think babies are good because we’re not sociopaths.
JOHN BERMAN: Then, in November of 2020, during a podcast appearance, he said this.
JD VANCE: There is just these basic cadences of life that I think are really powerful and really, really valuable when you have kids in your life.
And the fact that so many people, especially in America’s leadership class, just don’t have that in their lives.
You know, I worry that it makes people more sociopathic and ultimately our whole country a little bit less, less mentally stable.
And of course, you talk about going on Twitter. Final point I’ll make is you go on Twitter, and almost always, the people who are most deranged and most psychotic are people who don’t have kids at all.
JOHN BERMAN: In August of 2021, in a fundraising email, CNN found he appealed to donors by mentioning the, quote, “radical, childless leaders in this country.”.
And then he tweeted in 2021, quote, “Cat ladies must be stopped.”
The Trump/Vance campaign is run by professionals, and I think that these professionals did a sloppy job and are now scrambling to limit damage.
Of course you do, n00b.
Noted.
Oh, quit supporting the MSM. You troll.
His comments are just fine. He is not talking about childless folks. He is talking about women who choose to have lots of cats around as substitutes for a husband and real children — and THEN they brag about that being NORMAL.
If you choose to not be a parent, OK. But, don’t simultaneously insist that such is normal and anyone who disagrees with you is a bigot.
Rubio was vetted a long time ago and found to be problematic.
That’s your problem, you are here complaining and not out there defending.
“Vote Trump-CatBLANK for a Fresh Step”
“Scoop Away your Worries”
“Now with Less Clumping.”

Just retort the way they would have (and will). “Cheap fakes. I never said that. It’s AI.”
I don’t hate childless women.
I feel sorry that they do not know the fullness of life that having children brings.
We are designed to have children.
This can be a very cruel world where men and women who want to have children never find a person to have children with.
I think that Hollywood and Madison Avenue advertising has made this even worse.
A potential husband must be handsome and rich and a potential wife must be drop-dead gorgeous.
That’s fairy tale world.
It used to be that you married someone from four farms down.
Somehow, humanity seemed to thrive under that system.
Now, people make money trying to convince you to buy their products to become more appealing.
They don’t care if you have children.
They just want your money.
This has produced a lot of unhappy women.
Women who choose to not have children know that they are ignoring that part of being human.
Some do it because they are afraid.
Some do it because they want to focus strictly on themselves.
Whatever the reason, they know that they are ignoring that part of being human, and it bothers them.
It makes them angry and far too many of them take it out on the rest of us.
If being childless is not your choice, then you have my sympathy.
It’s not my fault.
If being childless is your choice, suck it up and keep it to yourself.
It’s not my fault.
JD Vance was a last minute decision by Trump post shooting, from what I read. In other words he had someone else in mind.
“substitutes for a husband and real children”
A politician should never attack any voting group.
Don’t bite a hand that could feed you.
“Vance did not say Kamala or her supporters were sociopaths. I have no idea why democrats think people suspect them of being sociopaths.”
Lol...did you forget the sarc tag there?
Anyone that deems millions of abortions per year as A-OK and that deems partial birth abortions as acceptable, ethical or even “Christian-like” is, by logical definition, a sociopath and worse, demonic. The left doth protest too much.
I think Vance was being too nice there, quite frankly. He refrained from calling the Marxist left what they are. And as usual, the Marxist left is doing what they do best. Lying.
That was a joke. Lighten up.
“I believe who Vance is calling out are those who choose not to have children because they place no value on children or future generations whatsoever, usually because of their own greed or personal ambitions. These are the people who put their own lifestyle and career and everything else above raising children, who believe the world is already overpopulated, and who hate the notion of anybody else having children. And we all know what side of the aisle that particular subset of people reside.”
I’m thinking that Rush had a perfect term for women like that. He called them Feminazis. These days, I just call them typical Marxist Democrats. And they have all committed to help fulfill the globalist ghouls’ agenda which, coincidentally, includes depopulation. So yeah... sociopath is way too nice of a word to describe what they are.
We have played nice with the liberals for decades while they call us names, take money from us for their causes, burn down our cities and assault us.
They think they can do whatever they want because we won’t fight back.
It’s time to quit smiling at them and waiting for them to grow up.
Their behavior brings with it certain labels.
It is not wrong to use these labels.
Perhaps this will wake them out of their foolishness.
I doubt it, but it’s the first step.
It’s a positive if you show all the tranny photos reading to children
The masking of a toddler who keeps struggling and teachers keep putting that mask back on.
The school board meetings with parents reading assigned books and board members freaking out about the language in the assigned books
Parents labeled domestic terrorists.
Open borders encouraging Fentanyl to kill America’s children.
The open borders encouraging violent criminals to rape and murder our children.
The physical maiming of children.
The emotional scaring of children with their privilege and born racists preaching and classroom assignments
Men in girls sports
Higher inflation more children do without
Higher energy costs, more children do without
Hollywood full of filth and violence
Pedophile islands
Dumbing down education
And people who do not own houses are not invested in the American Dream.
People on welfare should not vote.
If only he had said these....
YES, YES, and YES.
I agree 100% with Vance. Keep running that meme you morons. It HELPS us.
““Babies are good because we’re not sociopaths.”
JD VANCE: I’ve seen people who become more attached to their communities, to their families, to their country, because they have children.”
“So I would say that we should care about declining fertility, not just because it’s bad for our economy, but because we think babies are good– and we think babies are good because we’re not sociopaths.”
” There is just these basic cadences of life that I think are really powerful and really, really valuable when you have kids in your life.

“the people who are most deranged and most psychotic are people who don’t have kids at all.”
WHAT is wrong with any of that?
Is this “cat lady” thing the best they got?
Childless cat lady comment by a VP candidate vs. Presidential that has supported defunding the police, abolishing ICE, the New Green Deal and was a miserable failure as border czar.
This is and will remain VP whether the party class likes it or not.
Guy who joined in March of 2023 has thoughts 🤔
Various pro-Trump commentators on the fox prime-time shows are saying the same thing - MAGA rally-goers love it, but Trump must focus on his economic, immigration and citizen safety record and the Dem lack of positive action/results on any of these to win non-Pub voters. It's critical for his election that he do that beyond the TV/social media/press ads his campaign is using, as the lame-stream media is focusing on his rally statements and ignoring the positive campaign information.
