During an appearance on Megyn Kelly’s show, JD Vance took a strong stance against the Democratic Party, accusing it of becoming increasingly hostile toward families and children.
Vance cited examples such as the prolonged masking of toddlers post-pandemic and the Harris campaign’s opposition to the child tax credit as evidence of this trend.
“I know the media wants to attack me and wants me to back down on this, Megyn, but the simple point that I made is that having children, becoming a father, becoming a mother, I really do think it changes your perspective in a pretty profound way,” Vance stated. “This is something, of course, we’ve recognized for hundreds of years in this country that human civilization has always recognized.”

Vance emphasized that his criticism was not aimed at individuals who do not have children. “It’s not a criticism of people who don’t have children. I explicitly said in my remarks, despite the fact that media has lied about this, that this is not about criticizing people who, for various reasons, didn’t have kids,” he clarified.
He then turned his focus to the Democratic Party’s policies and rhetoric. “This is about criticizing the Democratic Party for becoming anti-family and anti-child. We have to ask ourselves, Megyn, why do we have masking of toddlers years after the pandemic ended? Why do we have the Harris campaign coming out this very morning, Megyn, and saying that we should not have the child tax credit, which lowers tax rates for parents of young children? It’s because they have become anti-family and anti-kid.”
BREAKING: Kamala Harris’ campaign has apparently come out *against* tax breaks for having children while trying to slam JD Vance for his past comments.
Yikes.

Vance expressed his commitment to standing up for parents. “I’m proud to stand up for parents, and I hope that parents out there recognize that I’m a guy who wants to fight for you. I want to fight for your interests. I want to fight for your stake in the country. And that is what this is fundamentally about,” he declared.
Concluding his remarks, Vance urged for honesty in addressing these issues. “The Democrats, in the past five to ten years, Megyn, they have become anti-family. It’s built into their policy. It’s built into the way they talk about parents and children, and it’s time that we call that out. I don’t think we should back down from it, Megyn. I think we should be honest about the problem.”
