Former president Donald Trump is for the moment elated with his mercurial running mate JD Vance, but had been “unaware” of the extent of the Ohio Senator’s arch-conservative positions on women and families as his campaign vetted potential vice presidential candidates, according to a New York Times report.
The latest clip from Vance’s misogynistic playbook to make the rounds emerged Saturday: In a resurfaced podcast interview from 2021, the Republican nominee for vice president said professional women choose “a path to misery” by elevating their careers over having children.
“You have women who think that truly the liberationist path is to spend 90 hours a week working in a cubicle at McKinsey, instead of starting a family,” Vance said.
