Published: July 25, 2024, 9 a.m.

A vile quote from J.D. Vance just surfaced in which\xa0he described\xa0Kamala Harris and other Democratic leaders as \u201cchildless cat ladies,\u201d and spun out a whole theory based on this absurdity. Then Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg\xa0sharply dressed down\xa0Vance for poking his nose into other people\u2019s family decisions. With this response, Buttigieg showed that Vance has invited a much larger national conversation\u2014one that won\u2019t help Vance and Donald Trump. We talked to Melissa Gira Grant, a staff writer at\xa0The New Republic\xa0who\xa0closely tracks Vance\u2019s ideas, for help in illuminating what this saga tells us about the New Right\u2019s tortured views on gender, natalism and nationalism.
