Senator JD Vance Is Under Fire For Valuing the Contribution of Grandparents

Former President Trump’s running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, is facing criticism again — after his opinion on grandparents’ contributions was twisted in an out-of-context clip. While on Eric Weinstein’s podcast ‘The Portal,’ in 2020, Vance was expressing gratitude for the relationship his children have with their grandparents when Weinstein interrupted, saying the “whole purpose of the postmenopausal female” is to raise grandchildren. 

Since this clip has resurfaced, controversy has sparked, and the Duffys are here to discuss why they believe this is being blown out of proportion, as all of Senator Vance’s points seemed to center around valuing grandparents, not devaluing women (as the “postmenopausal” comment

wasn’t his). They also discuss how they see this backlash as another example of young Americans rejecting traditional values.
