      Dave Weigel Retweeted Chasten Glezman Buttigieg

      "Why have we let the Democrat Party become controlled by people who don't have children?" Vance asked. "Why is this just a normal fact of American life that the leaders of our country... don't have a personal, direct stake in it via their offspring?"https://twitter.com/Chasten/status/1419690646953250818 …

      Bringing a child into this world can be a long, difficult and often heartbreaking process for any family. Shame on @JDVance1 for this tactless take. As a father, he should know better. As a wannabe Senator, it's clear that empathy isn't his strong suit. https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1419636502888333319 …

      I didn't think about this at the time but the best-known American who never had kids of his own is probably George Washington.

          Not really. He had stepchildren via Martha but I am not sure if they really filled the void, as Hamilton and (especially Lafayette) became surrogate sons later in life.

          He might as well have attacked 'Democrat hygiene' for the lack of meat in his charge.

          Replying to @daveweigel

          It's telling that he feels empathy only really applies to blood relatives; that you can't have a direct, personal stake in the welfare of fellow citizens if you aren't biologically connected. If you have 10 kids do you care 5 times as much as someone with 2?

          IIRC, it's thought that he was infertile due to disease, most likely a bout with TB.
