In a newly resurfaced audio clip from a podcast interview from 2020, JD Vance made some weird comments about postmenopausal women. Eric Weinstein, host of The Portal podcast claimed that “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female” is to help raise grandchildren, which Maybelline Vance appeared to agree with. He then proceeded to tell the host a story about how his mother in law everything to care for their newborn son.
“It makes him a much better human being,” Vance says of his son’s interaction with his grandparents.
Weinstein goes on to say that “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female,” is to help raise children.
Vance can be heard saying “yep,” just after Weinstein says the word “postmenopausal.”
Of course, his campaign denied Vance agreed with the host:
The media is dishonestly putting words in JD’s mouth—of course he does not agree with what the host said.”
“JD reacted to the first part of the host’s sentence, assuming he was going to say: ‘that’s the whole purpose of spending time with grandparents,’” according to Vance’s spokeswoman, Taylor Van Kirk. “It’s a disgrace that the media is lying about JD instead of holding Kamala Harris accountable for her policies that caused sky high prices for groceries and everyday necessities, a disaster at the southern border, and a historic drug overdose epidemic.”
