JD Vance Faces Backlash Over Podcast Remarks

News summary

JD Vance, Donald Trump's running mate, has come under renewed scrutiny following the resurfacing of controversial remarks he made during a 2020 podcast interview. In the clip, Vance agreed with host Eric Weinstein that the 'whole purpose of the postmenopausal female' is to help raise grandchildren, a comment that many have criticized as reductive and offensive. Vance praised his mother-in-law for taking time off work to assist with childcare, calling the decision 'painfully economically inefficient.' His spokesperson denied that Vance was endorsing Weinstein's statement, suggesting he misinterpreted the context. Vance's past remarks, including labeling Democratic women as 'childless cat ladies,' have previously sparked backlash. The controversy adds to the challenges Vance faces as he campaigns alongside Trump ahead of the November election.
