Haley on JD Vance's comments about women: 'It’s not helpful'
Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said in a Sunday interview that Ohio Sen. JD Vance’s (R) comments on women “are not helpful.”
“Just as recently as last week, JD Vance said he's disoriented and disturbed that the head of the most powerful teachers’ union in the country doesn't have a single child,” CBS’s Margaret Brennan noted to Haley on “Face the Nation.”
“He continues to say things that certainly are highlighted as being offensive to women. That is going to hurt, won't it, with female voters?”
“It’s not helpful,” Haley responded.
Vance, the GOP vice presidential nominee, has experienced heavy criticism for his previous comments about women. In 2021, he said to ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson that the country was being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”
“It’s just a basic fact — you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children,” Vance said. “And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?”
In her interview on CBS, Haley said she decides “as a voter, to look at substance.”
“The substance is cutting taxes, making housing more affordable, immigration, national security, that's the substance,” Haley later added. “The style is — no, it is not helpful to talk about whether women have children or whether they don't.”
The Hill has reached out to a Vance spokesperson for comment.
