This feels misleading.

Vance made it clear, said Aaron Fritschner, deputy chief of staff for Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.), “that he meant no disrespect to cats, but he did mean to demean women and still holds the view in 2024 that they should be punished for not having children.”

So the actual quote here is from a chief of staff of a Democratic representative, not from dolphin-loving couch-loving JD Vance. So it’s an accusation that interprets for us. And the tweet the article cites heavily edits the text it quotes:

“Obviously it was a sarcastic comment. I’ve got nothing against cats. … People are focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance … and the substance of what I said, Megyn — I’m sorry, it is true.”

Heres a video of the clip without the editing: therecount.com/watch/…/2645895762

Ok, so the edits here at least aren’t misleading…

Then based on the 9 minute clip of her show in the original article, it seems like he’s claiming the substance is not about the cat lady comment, but some lies about what Democrats believe about families (democrats think kids are for the economy, republicans want to make it easier for women to stay in the workforce (I mean, is there a more blatant lie than that? They’re the ones who fight against extending COVID-era childcare credits!), etc). That’s what says he’s doubling down on. And given the context that does truly seem to be the lies he’s doubling down on.

Let’s try to stick to sincere, defensible attacks against people for whom there are many valid attacks, and not spread misleading claims that JD is doubling down on “crazy cat ladies”. He’s shit and we can demonstrate that in good faith, or we can lie like he does.

Right. Saying JD Vance is a couch lover may be an out right lie. It’s more important that we state what we know; we cannot prove he never had sex with a couch.

I just think it’s funny that JD Vance knows better than to anger the cats.

Regarding the plan to give parents more voting power by assigning them an extra vote for each of their children, which parent gets to cast those extra votes? If I have three kids, do I get to cast four votes, or do they get split between me and my wife? Somehow I doubt he is suggesting that mothers get all this extra voting power, right? I’m sure the couch fucker believes that it’s a husband’s duty to officiate these extra votes for his family. Actually, I’m sure he thinks a husband should preside over his wife’s vote as well.

Maybe we should get a betting pool going as to who is the least charismatic Republican ghoul. Vance seems to have a good chance to overshoot Ted Cruz, seeing as Cruz at least managed to convince somebody to marry him at some point, and have sex enough to produce offspring.

Well, there is always the couch and soon this game.

This assumes that conservative Christian women actually want to be married to men like this.

It’s either a lifetime of brainwashing to be subservient to your piece of shit husband, or it’s all about wealth and nothing else.

What a sh*t title. He did not double down on the attack. He regretted getting cat-keeping involved in his bigoted view on women with no children

I wonder whether that demo swings right or left?

Feels hard to stereotype properly.

HappyTimeHarry ,

I think it would lean more left, seeing as they are, childless (so probably favor birthcontrol, pro-choice) and ladies.

This chucklefuck wants to give me more voting power for creampieing (creamping?) my wife? Sure, I’ll vote even harder against this idiot.
