The Morning Joe panel discusses how this 'organic wildfire' is ultimately a gift to Democrats.

    Tim Scott, childless. Lindsey Graham, childless. Matt Gaetz, childless. Yet, Mr. Vance has no problems with them having a say in how this country is run.
  • @grutarg2938
    If you're wondering why they picked JD Vance, you only have to think about one thing - why they didn't pick Mike Pence.
  • @imnavhuh7823
    They want to get rid of IVF yet criticize women who are childless.
  • @gilcori1234
    He's trying to make the focus of his campaign being pro family while also voting against the childcare tax credits, paid family leave, child lunches, blocking gun licenses from those convicted of domestic violence, etc. Make him run on his words and his record and don't let him run away from them.
  • @jenniferwolfe34
    The scariest thing he said was that a parent's votes should count more than someone who doesn't have kids. So he supports a system where some voters are more important than others. The childfree should also pay more in taxes according to him. He was a horrible choice for VP.
  • @danmayberry1185
    Vance should explain why the US is the only industrialized nation without mandated paid parental leave. And what he plans to do about it.
  • @omenadaniels
    He apologized to the cats, even to dogs but not to women… that was telling!
  • @CB38096
    He’s basically saying if you don’t have kids you shouldn’t have a say in this country.. that’s insane
  • @Purple1984Rain
    Only trump can choose a candidate who is even more unlikeable than he is. Thank you Eric and Don Jr Sincerely, The VP Harris campaign
  • @user-gz2it1te5r
    As a cat lady, I am offended by this jerk's remarks. We are a very loving bunch, and my cat is offended by him. Also, we who do not have kids may not want children, or can't have children. It is none of his damned business.
  • I am childless due to a truck accident when I was 17 and I was not driving. I broke my neck. Beware Vance there are alot of us childless cat woman! And yes I have 2 cats!
  • Commander Vance said, “I’ve got nothing against cats. I’ve got nothing against dogs…”. He did not say, “I have nothing against childless ladies,” because he definitely has something against ladies, childless or not.
  • @HH-mw4sq
    Has anyone explained to JD that cats don't vote, but ladies do? Women are going to hand the republican ticket their collective rear-ends come November.
  • There is nothing wrong to be childless that's a complete personal decision what is wrong with this man..
  • @nwa2791
    This is as shocking as that GOP Lady who shot her Dog and Goat!!!
  • My nephew (in his 30's) has always said he doesn't want kids, and he doesn't like cats either. So is it just the 'ladies' that are miserable Vance? Is it just the 'ladies' that will be penalized? What a POS.
  • @Sarth824
    One of my friends is a childless woman in her mid 30s. She isn’t crazy about Kamala but she’s going to vote for her largely because of this exact rhetoric. She agrees the alternative to Kamala is fundamentally awful and worse. Thank you JD Vance for exposing MAGA’s full beliefs on platforms large enough for all to see the truth about your misogyny, racism and hate!
  • @jaybestnz
    What horrible people are on the republican side. 😢
  • @cyndigirl418
    I'm a mother, but if a woman chooses not to have kids, that is her decision, and there is nothing wrong with that! Besides, kids are extremely expensive, and they eat you out of house and home! 😂😂😂😂
  • @newtonmichael
    55 year old childless cat man here. Also an Army Veteran, Democrat, Pro choice, Atheist.... AMERICAN.
