A "quip" is a witty remark. That remark was far from witty Usha.

[bblanchette]

Your husband said what he said because that what he meant.

[armyb]

"Attacking people without children" no CNN, he attacked WOMEN directly and only, for not having children. He didn't say "people" for a reason (sexism) and you should quote that reason when spreading information.

[chrisbrown]

Lies lies from his wife! He has repeatedly bashed people without children as if we are less than those who chose to have them! Shame!

[morningglory]

She’s a day late and a dollar short . All the cats are already out of the bag.

[jessicasalinas]

Send the wife in to clean up the mess her husband made. Stop it. We know what he meant.

[waikitjim]

If she weren’t Vance’s wife, she would have a totally different stance.

[ohotnitza]

She needs to address the racist remarks JD and his cronies have made about her her children and others

[shawnpreston]

“Many of those reasons are very good”…how about ANY reason (someone chooses not to have children) is THEIR business. My reason doesn’t need your approval! She’s his enabler — clearly.

[Bantutribe]

There is something I don't understand. Both Vance and Trump married women who are immigrant or of immigrant descents, Yet they have a condescending attitude towards immigrants in general. How hypocritical can you be?

[awakeningpeace]

It’s interesting to know how much they hate women, but to see them sending out a woman to try to save them. They are all so pathetic.

[daydreaminavenue]

He stood by his statement, emphasizing his commitment. No one should be judged for not having children; we all deserve equal rights in this country.

[rachelfan]

She's defending something that can't be defended

[lazaruswoods]

He meant it! No separation from what you've said. Man up!

[sixbladeknife]

Tough one trying to defend stupidity and hate.

[CA-tkyn]

JD Vance insulted millions of voters, whether they like it or not. It insulted me, because my sister was alone because of horrid abuse at the hands of a man. She loved her cats, and I loved she could have companionship. Trump lost my vote with his choice of Vance.

[zlsgusb]

Poor woman married to such a chauvinistic and she’s blind to his ignorance and her willingness to be treated that way.

[ohneville]

"Many of those reasons are very good" made me chuckle.

[j.thomasgough]

So, one of the things that J.D. has in common with Trump is that people have to run around behind both of them trying to reshape the narratives left in their wake. “No, no, that’s not what he meant, ” is the unofficial GOP motto.

[floydian]

You can write something off as "just a quip" if it's a one-off. Not when they repeat it multiple times. 😂
