“I do think that being a parent actually has a profound effect on somebody’s perspective and we should honor and respect that.
“But a whole host of people who don’t have children for a whole host of reasons and they certainly are great people who can participate fully in the life of this country and that’s not what I said, Trey.
“If you look at what the left has done they have radically taken this out of context and aggressively lied about what I said.
“What I do think is true, and this goes radically to the heart of what I was thinking about three years ago in the comments, but it’s going to be something I continue to talk about, the left has increasingly become explicitly anti-child and anti-family.
“They encouraged young families not to have children at all because of concerns over climate change and they suggested people who do have children are somehow being selfish.
“Being a parent is actually the most selfless thing that you can do and that transforms your perspective.
“This is not a criticism and never criticism of everybody without children, that is a lie of the left.” – J.D. Vance, last night on Fox News.
