Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) summed up Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who is Donald Trump’s running mate, with a word that’s been driving the GOP ticket batty.

“The guy is a weirdo, it’s really quite simple,” she told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes.

Hayes had asked her about the latest resurfaced audio of Vance attacking people who don’t have children.

“So many of the leaders of the left, and I hate to be so personal about this, but they’re people without kids trying to brainwash the minds of our children. That really disorients me,” Vance said in 2021.

He also slammed Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, saying “she doesn’t have a single child” and should “have some of her own and leave ours the hell alone.”

Crockett, who went to a Catholic middle school, noted that Vance’s comments would exclude nuns from teaching.

She said Vance’s ideas come from the extremist Project 2025 right-wing policy documents, “and a lot of that agenda kinda has their own definition of what Christianity looks like and what Christian families look like and what we all should be doing.”

Her dismissal of Vance as “weird” is part of recent messaging from the left about the GOP ticket, which has hit a nerve ― especially with Trump.

“She actually called me ‘weird,’” he complained earlier this month after Vice President Kamala Harris used the word. “And she called JD and I ‘weird.’ He’s not weird, he was a great student at Yale.”

At another event, he griped: “We’re not weird. We’re very solid people ... I think we’re the opposite of weird. They’re weird.”
