GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance singled out lesbian American Federation of Teachers (AFT) president Randi Weingarten in a newly-resurfaced clip from 2021 when he accused her of trying to “brainwash” children and suggested she shouldn’t be able to have a say over youth issues because she did not give birth.
“So many of the leaders of the left — and I hate to be so personal about this — but they’re people without kids trying to brainwash the minds of our children,” the Ohio senator said in the widely-shared clip, which was revealed on Aug. 27 and amplified by Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign for president. “And that really disorients me, and it really disturbs me.”
