JD Vance Once Described Democrats as “Childless Sociopaths”

HeadlineJul 30, 2024

In other JD Vance news, CNN has revealed new details about his long history of disparaging people who don’t have children. In addition to his comment about “childless cat ladies,” Vance once described Democrats as “childless sociopaths.” During a podcast interview in 2020, he claimed that childless Americans were making the country “less mentally stable.”

JD Vance: “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 home.”
