Trump VP Pick Busted By CNN Calling Childless People Sociopaths ‘A LOT’ In Unearthed Videos

CNN busted Trump running mate pick Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) over unearthed recordings in which he refers to childless people as “sociopaths” and “psychotic” amid outrage over similar comments.

Vance has faced outrage this week over a 2021 interview that went viral, in which Vance derided “childless cat ladies” who “don’t really have a direct stake in” the country.

In an interview with Fox News, Vance claimed critics were “aggressively lying” about what he said and that his remarks were “radically taken this out of context.”

But on Tuesday’s edition of CNN News Central, anchor John Berman ran down a fresh set of “context” unearthed by KFile’s Andrew Kaczynski:

SARA SIDNER: (story tease).

Not just childless cat ladies. Turns out there are many more ways Trump’s running mate has described people without children. The word sociopath used a lot.

JOHN BERMAN: Brand new this morning. More than childless cat ladies. Way more new reporting from CNN’s KFile this morning on Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance.

The controversial comments he made questioning the judgment of people without children– they were not a one off. In May of 2019, he told the crowd, quote, “Babies are good because we’re not sociopaths.”

JD VANCE: I’ve seen people who become more attached to their communities, to their families, to their country, because they have children.

So I would say that we should care about declining fertility, not just because it’s bad for our economy, but because we think babies are good– and we think babies are good because we’re not sociopaths.

JOHN BERMAN: Then, in November of 2020, during a podcast appearance, he said this.

JD VANCE: There is just these basic cadences of life that I think are really powerful and really, really valuable when you have kids in your life.

And the fact that so many people, especially in America’s leadership class, just don’t have that in their lives.

You know, 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 all.

JOHN BERMAN: In August of 2021, in a fundraising email, CNN found he appealed to donors by mentioning the, quote, “radical, childless leaders in this country.”.

And then he tweeted in 2021, quote, “Cat ladies must be stopped.”
