JD Vance suggested women in violent relationships should not get divorced for the sake of children

JD Vance, the Republican senate nominee from Ohio being backed by former president Donald Trump, has allegedly said that people should continue to stay in marriages — including the ones that are “violent” — for the sake of children.

“This is one of the great tricks that I think the sexual revolution pulled on the American populace, which is the idea that like, ‘well, OK, these marriages were fundamentally, you know, they were maybe even violent, but certainly they were unhappy. And so getting rid of them and making it easier for people to shift spouses like they change their underwear, that’s going to make people happier in the long term,’” Mr Vance said while addressing the Pacifica Christian High School in Southern California last September, Vice News reported.
