J.D Vance has unleashed on a MSNBC political analyst who claimed he only wants ‘more white children’ in the U.S. and that his ‘childless cat lady’ criticism of Democrat family policy was ‘racist’.
Contributor Molly Jong-Fast, who has since been forced to lock her X account, said on Morning Joe on that Vance’s perspective is authoritarian and racist.
‘What’s interesting is that this is this natalism that comes from an authoritarian playbook, right?’ Jong-Fast said in newly unearthed comments.
‘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. So don’t misunderstand it for him wanting more children. He wants a certain kind of racist thing.’
Jong-Fast is the daughter of prominent feminist author, Erica Jong, whose novel ‘Fear of Flying’ is considered a feminist classic. Her father, Jonathan Fast, is also an author.
Sen. Vance’s campaign was quick to slam the presenter for making a ‘trash comment’.
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.
’These disgusting attacks are a reminder that the leftwing media will stop at nothing to smear any Republican that they deem a threat to their radical agenda,’ Vance Spokesperson William Martin told DailyMail.com.
The comments are more suspect as the vice presidential nominee is the father of three biracial children.
The Ohio senator’s wife Usha is the daughter of Indian immigrants.
‘Senator Vance and his wife Usha have three beautiful, biracial children,’ he continued.
‘It’s because of vile attacks like this that most Americans have lost faith in the establishment media to report the news fairly.’
‘MSNBC should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this trash to air on their network.’
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.
‘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 in response to a clip of the exchange.
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.’
