A Weird Night on Fox News: Vance Triples Down on Attacks On Women [View all]


Tonight, Trey Gowdy devoted the opening segment of his show to detail his disapproval of JD Vance’s statements disparaging couples struggling with infertility and “childless” women.

WATCH: Trey Gowdy highlighted how even conservative women are put off by Vance’s anti-woman beliefs - essentially begging him to apologize.

Vance then joined Gowdy’s show as a guest.

Spoiler alert: Vance didn’t apologize.

Key quotes from Gowdy:

“The American people are forgiving, if we ask. Let’s welcome GOP vice presidential candidate, Senator JD Vance.”

“I’ve heard from many women, most of whom are conservative, and they would very much like to vote for President Trump and you, but Senator, they are disappointed.”

“I’m not asking you because it’s making news. I’m asking you more because people are calling me, who very much would like to support you and President Trump… George Washington did not have biological children and neither did James Madison.”

Despite Gowdy’s overtures for forgiveness, Vance dismissed the concerns of conservative women, claiming “it’s very clear the Democrats have tried to take this thing out of context and blow it out of proportion,” and deflecting, saying “that’s not what I said, Trey. If you look at what the left has done, they have radically taken this out of context.”

Harris for President Spokesperson Ammar Moussa released the following statement on JD Vance’s tough Fox News interview:

“Every time JD opens his mouth is a reminder that a Trump-Vance administration would be focused on inserting themselves into every American’s living room, bedroom, and doctor’s office. They want to ban abortion, rip away IVF treatments, and restrict contraceptives. Because in Trump’s Project 2025, the government knows better than you. It would just be weird if it wasn’t so dangerous – and it’s why the stakes this November are so incredibly high.”
