We speak with reproductive justice activist Renee Bracey Sherman about Ohio Senator JD Vance, whose history of sexist remarks has come under scrutiny since he was chosen to be Donald Trump's running mate in the 2024 presidential election. Bracey Sherman says Vance's attacks on women who do not have biological children and his promotion of a kind of trad" lifestyle harkening back to 1950s norms show he is out of touch with modern families. The short answer is he's a weirdo. The longer answer is he's a white supremacist and he's a white nationalist," Bracey Sherman says in explaining Vance's ideology.
