J.D. Vance Has “No Business Speaking for Kentucky,” Says KY State Senator | Amanpour and Company

Publicado 2024-07-29
In a recent piece for The Atlantic -- "Hillbilly Women Will Get No Help from J.D. Vance" -- Cassie Chambers Armstrong makes the point that, despite the Republican vice-presidential candidate's claim on his family's Appalachian values, his stated positions show a failure to recognize women's reality. Senator Armstrong joins the show to discuss ways in which rural women could be better supported.

    How despicable Trump and Vance are!!! What injustice!!!
  • @AndyHess-jy6vx
    Children learn domestic violence at home. Forcing children to remain in a family with an abusive parent is insane. And completely wrong. 1950's thought.

    What a lovely, intelligent, and inspiring young woman. Anyone that provides legal services pro bono is a selfless person. Thank you for setting the record straight.

    JD is all about himself and he is a money monger
  • @guitarcoyote
    Cassie Chambers Armstrong, showing up for women & families experiencing domestic violence. God’s richest blessings to you!

    Leaving an abusive marriage also sets a valuable bar of respect for your children. In creating this boundary you give your children permission to take care of themselves and take their power back should they need to one day.

    She sounds smart. Thank you for interviewing her.

    So glad some of the brightest in Kentucky are becoming more nationally known. Thank you for this interview.
  • @WeepingTree
    This is peak journalism.. thank you, PBS.

    Thank you for placing my late mother-in-law’s life in its proper context. At 15 years she walked into a local private school to ask for work in exchange for tuition. A year after graduating she was teaching the chemistry class. She later received a master’s degree in early childhood education. As a New England bride, all this was invisible to me. She was, according to her family, “a real pistol”.
  • Coherent,impressive woman. She is a model woman. I applaud her. She builds community.
  • @shirleyrice7093
    Peter Thiel has bought all of J.D. Vance’ jobs and sponsored and paid for Vance’s run for Congress.
  • @davidk1493
    This brilliant woman puts JD Vance to shame. One hopes that Harris and Company has a chance to hear this compelling interview. Her insights could be beneficial to a Harris administration.

    Cassie was my city council member before being elected to the state legislature. She is the finest person and boldest progressive. I hope she, not the faux Appalachian Vance, is heard by the nation on this, and more importantly, is heard on all the issues.
  • @jasonroberts5746
    This was an excellent interview. Sen. Armstrong is very articulate and knowledgeable. She is the type of person we need more of as elected officials. Kudos to the interviewer as well. She pressed for a more direct and full answer to her questions when needed.
  • @emmdeecastro553
    Well said Cassie Chambers Armstrong. Thank you for speaking out. Good for you
