'This is simply insane': Questions raised about vetting of J.D. Vance amid new blow-up
During an appearance on "Morning Joe" on Wednesday morning, MSNBC host Symone Sanders Townsend expressed shock that another damaging video of Republican Party vice president candidate J.D. Vance has surfaced which will force the campaign of Donald Trump to remain on defense.
On Tuesday another clip of Vance attacking childless women surfaced, this one from during his run for the Senate seat he now occupies.
In the clip shared by "Morning Joe" fill-in host Katty Kay, Vance launched a broadside at teachers who don't have children of their own, telling a crowd he thinks they are "trying to brainwash the minds of our children."

He also singled out Randi Weingarten, the head of the American Federation of Teachers, and smeared her by exclaiming, "If she wants to brainwash and destroy the mind of children, she should have some of her own and leave ours the hell alone."
As Sanders Townsend pointed out, this is just creating more problems for Donald Trump's campaign when it comes to women voters.
"I don't know children J.D. Vance himself has had," she began. "My understanding is his wife had the children so, you know, there we go. But you don't have a stake in the game here, America, that is just weird. It is weird and it is concerning."
"This all goes back to this is why vetting is important," she suggested. "I recently spoke to Eric Holder, former AG who did the vetting for the Harris/Walz campaign and I asked him, 'Are you sure you got everything?' because look at these videos coming out watching the videos with J.D. Vance. And he said he watched a lot of YouTube videos and he thinks he got it all but you can never be sure."
"I just — I have to wonder what was the vetting of J.D. Vance because this is simply insane," she concluded.
