“What Vance underlined this morning, however, was how thin his arguments really are and how little he cares about the people affected by the policies he co-signs. He brings up problems with an “anti-family” country while seated in the White House, in prime position to change that. He dishonestly misquotes Donald Trump to make him sound more normal. He refuses to back even his own previous position — which was a good position — on the Epstein files, because his boss didn’t wholeheartedly agree. He is too brittle and too angry to be able to pull off a good-natured back-and-forth with a group of women who are sympathetic enough to him that they’re promoting his book and handing him a printed onesie for his new baby, simply because they asked him a couple of difficult questions. Every criticism against him is actually proof that he’s a victim; every female concern is a silly woman who doesn’t know what she’s talking about. He is, quite clearly, spending way too much time inside an echo chamber. If you wanted a masterclass in how to give women the ick, you’d just have to air this hour-long horror show. But the smile on Vance’s face as the final credits rolled showed he thought he’d achieved a job well done. And that’s a massive part of the problem.”
