JD Vance Suggests People in 'Violent' Marriages Shouldn't Get Divorced
JD Vance said people need to be more willing to stay in unhappy marriages for the sake of their kids-and seemed to suggest that in some cases, "Even violent" marriages should continue.
"This is one of the great tricks that I think the sexual revolution pulled on the American populace, which is the idea that like, 'well, OK, these marriages were fundamentally, you know, they were maybe even violent, but certainly they were unhappy. And so getting rid of them and making it easier for people to shift spouses like they change their underwear, that's going to make people happier in the long term,'" Vance said.
When asked follow-up question of whether "He thinks people in violent marriages should generally stay together or get divorced," a Vance spokesperson said they felt Vance's statement already answered this question.
A Vance campaign spokesperson said that Vance does not support changes to current law with regard to divorce.
