Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) said on a conservative podcast in 2020 that childless Americans, especially those in the country’s “leadership class,” were “more sociopathic” than those with children and made the country “less mentally stable,” CNN reports.
Vance added that the “most deranged” and “most psychotic” commentators on Twitter were typically childless.
In August 2021, one month after launching his candidacy for the Senate, Vance’s campaign sent fundraising emails referring to the “radical childless leaders in this country.”
