Buttigieg slams Vance over childless comments, policies
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who jokingly noted, "you might recognize me from Fox News," got cheers from the crowd when he criticized Sen. JD Vance.
Buttigieg, who like Vance is a veteran, particularly slammed the GOP vice presidential candidate over his previous comments that people who didn't have children weren't invested in the country's future.

"You know, senator, when I was deployed to Afghanistan, I didn’t have kids. Some of the men and women who went outside the wire with me did not have kids. But let me tell you, our commitment to the future of this country was pretty damn physical," he said.
