MSNBC contributor Molly Jong-Fast was forced to make her X account private after lying about Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) in an attempt to portray him as a racist, which effectively exposed her own racism and ignorance.
In the days since former President Donald Trump picked Vance as his running mate, leftists have attempted to smear the Ohio senator in every way imaginable — especially focusing on his comments in 2021 about “childless cat ladies” trying to lead the country. The comment has been taken out of context by the left, as Vance was trying to make the point that Americans without children do not have the same stake in the future as parents do, as they are more incentivized to focus on making their own lives better rather than working for a better future.
Liberals, even a handful of conservative women, are seething over an old clip of JD Vance calling out miserable childless cat ladies who are trying to make the whole country as miserable as they are.

Jong-Fast referenced Vance’s comments during a Thursday appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” where she attempted to equate them with racism. The radical leftist contributor argued that Vance made the statement because he wanted “more white children” in America. Jong-Fast was apparently ignorant of the fact that Vance is married to an Indian-American woman, Usha, and is the father of three biracial children.
“Well, so what’s interesting is this is this natalism that comes from an authoritarian playbook, right?” Jong-Fast claimed. “That there — there need to be more white children, right? That’s the idea that there’s, you know, this is about Great Replacement Theory racism, right? This is what this is, don’t misunderstand it. For him wanting more children, he wants a certain kind of, you know, racist thing.”
“So I would say, yeah, it’s certainly true,” she continued. “And attacking people for not having children is really cruel, right? Because some people can’t have children, some people, you know, want to have children and, you know, can’t — you know, miss the window. So I do think it’s — it’s really just a very terrible way to go after people.”
A clip of Jong-Fast’s comments immediately went viral, leading many conservatives to flock to her X account to inform her that her racist comments were false. In response to people correcting her and calling her out for her ignorance and bigotry, Jong-Fast blocked numerous conservatives and made her X account private, preventing anyone who she does not follow from commenting or viewing her posts.
Conservative commentator Collin Rugg shared the clip on X, pointing out that Jong-Fast’s “X account, @MollyJongFast, is now protected after she got shredded online.”
“Jong-Fast appeared to know nothing about Vance despite being portrayed as an expert during the show on MSNBC,” he added.
NEW: Far-left MSNBC contributor Molly Jong-Fast has apparently locked her X account after getting obliterated for saying JD Vance only wants white children in America.
For those who don't know, Vance's own children are biracial.

Another popular X account, “Clown World,” responded to Rugg’s post with a screenshot showing that Jong-Fast had blocked them. Rugg noted in his reply that he had also been blocked.

Commentator Dave Rubin also responded to Jong-Fast’s comments, noting that she was an example proving the phrase, “Leftism is a mental disorder.”

It is unclear how long Jong-Fast plans to keep her X account private, though it was still locked as of Tuesday evening.
