Vice-presidential nominee doubles down on ‘traditional marriages’ and ‘childless cat ladies’

And yet, somehow, Trump managed to choose a vice-presidential nominee whose views on women are even more draconian and mean-spirited than his own., he of many names, is off to a thudding start. He went on Megyn Kelly’s podcast on Friday for cleanup on Aisle Feline.
And now comes this ridiculous faux-billy, tailoring his beliefs to match his ambition, telling me I have no stake in the United States?Phony. Vance has a lovely wife, Usha, the daughter of Indian immigrants, a star of Yale Law School and a litigator at a top law firm. She clerked for chief justice John Roberts at the Supreme Court and Brett Kavanaugh on the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit.
Vance replied on Friday simply that he loves his wife. But on the campaign trail, he projects an archaic image nurtured by Heritage Foundation-Project 2025 fanatics and Vance’s fellow superconservative Catholics. You get the impression that they would love nothing more than to dispatch women back to the kitchen and bedroom, turning them into what Hilary Mantel called “breeding stock, collections of organs”.
