"So many of the leaders of the left, and I hate to be so personal… pic.twitter.com/g7fXb1ReZVDuring an appearance on MSNBC last night, Texas congresswoman Jasmine Crockett was asked by Chris Hayes about Vance’s comments that disparaged both public school teachers and lesbian stepmoms.
The Texas congresswoman boiled it down nine words: “The guy is a weirdo, it’s really quite simple.” Crockett, who attended Catholic school, went on to say that the JD’s backwards way of thinking would exclude nuns from teaching.She also reminded viewers that Vance’s beliefs all stem from Project 2025, the extreme right-wing policy proposal Trump plans to implement if elected in November, “and a lot of that agenda kinda has their own definition of what Christianity looks like and what Christian families look like and what we all should be doing.”In a statement, Vance’s national press secretary, Taylor Van Kirk, tried to soften the VP wannabe’s remarks by saying there are “a lot of great teachers across the country,” and his criticism was not directed at them.
Of course, we already knew this. His criticism was very clearly directed at just the childless ones.Van Kirk added, “There is no bigger threat to American children than the left wing indoctrination being forced on our schools by elites like Randi Weingarten, with the support of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.” As for Weingarten, she responded this week by telling MSNBC, “Somebody doesn’t have to be a parent to be a great teacher.
