Jennifer Aniston Slams J.D. Vance’s Resurfaced Comments About Women Without Children

This ought to go over well in getting the much needed female vote. 

Jennifer Aniston Slams J.D. Vance’s Resurfaced Comments About Women Without Children

Jennifer Aniston is blasting Sen. J.D. Vance for his resurfaced 2021 comments about women such as Vice President Kamala Harris who have not given birth.

“I truly can’t believe this is coming from a potential VP of The United States,” The Morning Show star wrote on her Instagram Story on Wednesday. “All I can say is…Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day.”.............

............Aniston, who has shared her personal IVF journey in the past, continued, “I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too.”

In her post, the Friends alum also shared a screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter), which featured Vance’s July 2021 interview with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson. In the clip, Donald Trump’s running mate can be heard saying the United States was being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”

“It’s just a basic fact — you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children,” Vance continued in the footage. “And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?”

Harris is stepmother to her husband Doug Emhoff’s two children, Cole, 29, and Ella, 25. Vance and his wife, Usha, share three children: Ewan, 6, Vivek, 4, and Mirabel, 2.

Aniston’s comments come a week after Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, picked Vance as his vice president at the Republican National Convention ahead of the 2024 election................

Boo frickin' hoo. I actually agree, somewhat, with what Vance said. As a person without offspring (though not a cat lady), I can look to the miserable future facing this once-great and once-free republic, and think, "At least I don't have children who will have to experience life in a fascist dictatorship!"

Friends and relatives with children and grandchildren, on the other hand, rightfully should fear for what lies ahead for those they love.

You are correct; you won't have to worry about the future of your children.  However, his comment is going to be a disaster in capturing the female vote; those who are seeking adoption, those who have tried for years to conceive and can't .... perhaps those who have  lost children ..... this is a true slap in the face.

[mountaineer]

As it was said three years ago, I'm sure J.D. would be happy to offer some context or clarification, if asked.

At this point it's obvious the media is just lying about JD Vance's comments

He specifically said AT THE EVENT that he wasn't talking about anyone who experienced infertility

And they cut that part out

Apparently he only dug his hole a little deeper. He had an opportunity to explain in an interview with Tucker Carlson recently:

.....The video shows Carlson welcome Vance on the show and asks him to explain his stance.

“We are effectively run in this country … by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they wanna make the rest of the country miserable, too,” Vance answers. "It's just a basic fact. You look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez), the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children.".......

Perhaps people without children aren't the best to "run" the government, since they arguably have no reason to care about future generations. That's why they feel free to destroy the country right now.

Perhaps not, but there are plenty of people who have children that feel free to destroy our country.  JD's statement was in poor taste.

"As a new mom, my heart aches for women who are unable to bear children. @JDVancewords are being taken out of context and unfairly attacked.

Here are his full comments from 2021:  "A lot of people are unable to have kids for very complicated and important reasons…there are people of course for biological reasons, medical reasons that can't have children. The target of these remarks is not them.”" (A must watch video )

Reminder:  They're coming after Vance with a vengeance because he's an organic blowtorch for the "blue wall" ---- strengthening Trump's already majority appeal.  This is scaring the liberals sh!tless.

This is a real line of demarcation for how weak our society has become. JD Vance was making a general statement about how having children materially alters how one views the world and drastically refocuses one’s priorities. Anyone taking his words to be some kind of direct attack on them or as an attack on women unable to have children is just desperate to be a victim.

I’m a 39 year old man. I don’t have children. My lifelong best friend since I was 12 years old has a 3 year old and a 6 month old. I’m the godfather of the 3yo. Just having that tangential relationship with a child has completely changed my perspective on the world.

Being able to view the world through the lens of a parent is extremely important and necessary for a leader. Nearly 70% of Americans have children. If your leader is unable to view the world or understand the priorities of 70% of the population - that’s a major problem.

You don’t have to like what JD Vance said, but his point is absolutely valid.

My wife and I were unable to biologically have children. There was nothing offensive in JD's words. You'd have to be ACTIVELY looking to take offense to be offended by his comments here. What a sad person McCain is.

He said what he said-- he did a recap on Carlson.  His comment was in poor taste.

Of course they are going to go after JD  he's the opposition and a new kid on the block for the DEMS to target.

I just don't see right now that liberals are scared chitless-- Kamel's out to capture the female and Black vote. I see it as the Trump campaign needs to take note.

However, the DEM virtual roll call will soon take place and then the DEM convention -- after that the Trump campaign will truly know who they're up against.

I'll reckon that 90-95% of that particular "female vote" weren't going to vote for him anyway...

I don't disagree with what Mr. Vance said.
(and just to let you know one more time, I don't believe that women should be allowed to vote in any case, with few exceptions)

Aside:
Repeal ALL Constitutional amendments after #12 ...

Lest we forget, at one time in this country, you had to be Free, white, 21 years old at a minimum, and a property owner in order just to vote.

These were people most likely to be of European stock and have a classical set of values/education, whose vote could not be commanded by an owner, who had reached an age of maturity (21 then is not the same as 21 now), and who had a stake, property, that would be farmed, or otherwise used to make money, or less likely, simply a place to reside, but which meant that policy would have lasting effects on you and your family.
Just as the presence of children does.

Vance, in his full remarks, specifically said it was important to note he did not include those who for medical reasons or the lack of a suitable partner (spouse) could not have children, but those who chose to not have children, who had no downline to see the effects of their policies and bring those effects home.

He has a valid point, imho. Those who choose power and achievement over passing on their lineage and power and achievement to their young, who place their economic trappings above those others, just might be so in it for themselves that they are blind to the effects their behaviour will have on others in the future.

Children change your world, for the better, imho.

I had forgotten that you don't think women should be allowed to vote.  Thanks for the reminder.

[jafo2010]

What Vance said was simply stated, asinine.  In the America we live in, it doesn't take anything for many to become insulted.  For someone that is supposed to be highly educated, he did not use his brain with this statement.

This is what comes with selecting someone age 39.  I have said it many times, I do not think age 35 is an intelligent age to select someone to be POTUS.  At a minimum, I am of the mindset that age 45 should be the minimum, perhaps even age 50.  Anyone younger than that just does not have the wisdom of life experience.

Age 35 was selected at the founding of this country because  it was the average life expectancy back then.  As you all know, the average life expectancy is now 77 in the USA. 

There are many things that need revision in our Constitution to bring it up to date today, but our lame Congress would never think to undertake the updating of the Constitution.  That is what is called work, and they have an aversion to work, or it would appear to be the case, considering they accomplish almost nothing.

[berdie]

Yeah...it always gives me a chuckle when he (@Fishrrman) says that. Now...there a whole lot of liberal women. But, conversely, there are a whole lot of conservative women that are educated and own property.

Teddy Roosevelt, the finest President in the history of this country. He had the spirit and determination that matched the times and the land. Then the women got the vote, and everything went to hell. While our boys was overseas fighting the Kaiser, the women got Prohibition put in. Drinking and gambling and whoring were declared unlawful. All those things which come natural to men became crimes.

It was a sad day.

[berdie]

His comment was in poor taste and stupid. I do wish the native population would start having more children or we may be taken over.

They will go after JD...he's fresh meat...just like they did Palin.

[LMAO]

True. There’s no scenario that Jennifer Aniston would vote for TEAM Trump/Vance

But this may be the beginning of death by a thousand cuts if Vance and Trump keep making statements that put them on the defensive

[Hoodat]

Teddy Roosevelt, the finest President in the history of this country. He had the spirit and determination that matched the times and the land. Then the women got the vote, and everything went to hell.

Teddy Roosevelt was a big advocate for women's suffrage.  He was the first major Presidential candidate to openly support it.
