\n\n\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they\u2019ve made. And so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too. And it\u2019s just a basic fact. You look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC, the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children,\u201d Vance said.\n\n\n\n
Bash asked: \u201cWhat do you say to key voters like that, Republican swing voters, who are put off by your views?\u201d\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you look at what I said in context, the Harris campaign has frankly lied about what I actually said,\u201d Vance replied. \u201cI\u2019m pro-family. I want us to have more families. And obviously, sometimes it doesn\u2019t work out, sometimes for medical reasons, sometimes because you don\u2019t meet the right person. But the point is that our country has become anti-family and its public policy.\u201d\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou called out Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg in particular,\u201d Bash said, following up. She tried to make her point by noting that Harris \u201chas two stepchildren\u201d \u2014 none of her own \u2014 and that Buttigieg and his husband adopted twins. \u201cDo you recognize them as parents and more broadly, as being part of families?\u201d she asked.\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course I do,\u201d and went on to claim he criticized Harris \u201cfor being part of a set of ideas that exists in American leadership that is anti-family,\u201d largely through the adoption and backing of policies that make it more difficult to have and raise children.\n\n\n\n
Following more back and forth, Vance then interjected: \u201cYou\u2019ve now asked me three questions about comments that I made three years ago. I wonder what Kamala Harris thinks about the fact that she supported policies that open the American Southern border. I wonder what Kamala Harris thinks about Joe Biden\u2019s mental facility for the office.\u201d\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m interviewing you,\u201d Bash replied. \u201cNot Kamala Harris.\u201d\n\n\n\n

Vance responded brilliantly, pointing out that Harris has refused to sit down for interviews like he and former President Trump have done.\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are interviewing me, Dana, because I respect the American people enough to sit down for an interview,\u201d Vance said. \u201cKamala Harris has been the nominee for three weeks. She hasn\u2019t sat down for a real interview.\u201d\n\n\n\n
