What exactly did he say?

From People magazine:

The Republican vice presidential candidate said that having a grandparent around the house made his son “a much better human being.” He continued, “And the evidence on this, by the way, is, like, super clear.“

“That’s the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female in theory,” Weinstein interjects, as Vance says, “Yes.”

As a post-menopausal female, I can tell you that seeing my granddaughter once a week (and providing my daughter a bit of support by way of groceries, baked goods, diaper changing, etc) IS the greatest joy in my life right now.

Have I told you how absolutely adorable my granddaughter is??? I miss her the minute I get home. She is just the cutest little snuggle bunny ever! And her mommy is doing such a great job taking care of her, that I can truly just do the fun stuff like look at board books with her, stage monthly thematic photo shoots, and dance with her in the kitchen.

I know that I have been given a great gift in that I had the financial ability to retire “early” at about the same time I became a grandma. And also, that my daughter and her family live nearby.

So back to JD. I don’t like him. He’s an arrogant little shit who reminds me of the worst millennial coworkers I ever had. (They think they know everything.) But, unlike some of my friends, I’m just gonna let that particular comment go. We have much bigger problems now.

  3. I love that you are having this experience, and that your family has been able to grow and flourish this way, allowing you to spend this loving time. I would be thrilled to give that kind of time and attention should any of my kids have kids as well.

    I don’t love the Thiel/Vance vision and agenda for women. I think his comment was a part of how he justifies wanting to reduce women’s opportunities. That’s the part I can’t give a pass.

    1. I hear you. I place a vast amount of blame for Dobbs on the Catholic Church and their decades-long succesful effort to overturn Roe, yet JD Vance saying stupid shit gets so much more attention.
