'What is he talking about?' J.D. Vance ripped over new 'anti-child' corporation claim

On Friday's edition of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson went on an extended rant about new comments made by GOP Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance (R-OH) made about families and children by calling him out for complaining about problems that don't exist.After running a clip of Vance on Thursday "doubling down" on previous comments about Democrats and corporate America being "anti-child," Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough remarked, "Perhaps a family wants to step in when their 10-year-old daughter has been raped by an illegal immigrant in the state of Ohio and instead they want to get together with their doctor and preacher and mental health provider, and they want to be able to make that decision as a family instead of making the raped 10-year-old girl flee J.D. Vance's state.""Again, that's the lunacy of all of this," Scarborough continued. "He's sitting up there saying what he's saying and just ignoring everything that's happening because of Donald Trump's ban."ALSO READ: Donald Trump deep in debt while foreign money keeps coming: disclosure"Yeah and incidentally if you want to be pro-family, maybe it would be pro-family not to have to worry that children would be shot in the schools because of the easy availability of assault weapons," Robinson quipped before continuing, "That aside. What is he talking about? What corporate America is he talking about that is anti-child?""He's just inventing this sort of strawman to attack with this sort of oblique angle that doesn't really relate to anything in the real world or to anybody in the real world, and he does it without any policies behind it, right?" he added. "Okay, fine, let's have a generous national family leave policy so that mothers and fathers get a chance to spend a good time with their newborns. Let's have, you know, all sorts of policies that encourage and make it easier for parents.""I've heard no such agenda," he added. "I heard this weird and frankly untrue slur on corporate America, and I'm not usually a defender of corporate America writ large but I just don't see what he's talking about."Watch below or at the link here. - YouTube youtu.be
