“It’s just a basic fact — you look at Kamala Harris, (Transportation Secretary) Pete Buttigieg, (Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) AOC — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people who don’t have children. And how does it make sense that we’ve handed our country over to people who actually have no direct interest in it?”⁽¹¹⁾
