(GoRealNewsNow.com) – In remarks to a Catholic group, GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance slammed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) for having “a sociopathic attitude” about families and children.
“One of the politicians that I criticized is AOC,” said Vance in 2021, while campaigning for the U.S. Senate seat in Ohio he would win the following year.
“Maybe AOC hasn’t found the right person, whatever the case may be. AOC has said basically—if you look at her public remarks on this—that it’s immoral to have children because of climate change concerns. Right? This is, let’s just be direct, a sociopathic attitude towards family,” he added.
On one hand, 34-year-old Ocasio-Cortez, popularly known as AOC, is a representative from New York and a leading figure among House progressives.
On the other hand, Vance is the hard-right Senate populist who was picked last month as Donald Trump’s presidential running mate.
Vance has faced a rocky start, especially over comments about family and women’s issues, notably calling opponents like Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, “childless cat ladies.”
In 2019, Ocasio-Cortez said, “It is basically a scientific consensus that the lives of our children are going to be very difficult [because of climate change], and it does lead young people to have a legitimate question: is it OK to still have children?”
Vance, having three children, spoke in 2021 to the Napa Institute, a Catholic group that seeks to “advance the re-evangelization of the United States.”
“My basic view,” Vance claimed, “is that if the Republican party, the conservative movement stands for anything … the number one thing we should be is pro-babies and pro-families.”
Claiming “a civilizational crisis” fueled by unhappy families and “healthy intact families … not having any kids,” he said: “So many of the most miserable and unhappy people in our media and in our public life are people without kids.
Moreover, Vance claimed that he did not want to “criticize every single person who doesn’t have children.” His goal, instead, was to point out “that it’s one thing to have a society where some people don’t have kids…”
In response, AOC stated, “Being obsessed with repressing women is goofy,” AOC said. “Trying to watch what LGBTQ+ people do all the time is abnormal. Punishing people who don’t have biological offspring is creepy … it’s SUPER weird. And people need to know.”
