in remarks in 2021 that resurfaced Tuesday.

In his public comments, he reserved specific criticism for Randi Weingarten, the head of the ********* Federation of Teachers.

“You know, 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,” Vance said at a Center for ********** Virtue leadership forum moderated by ************* radio host Hugh Hewitt and the group’s president, Aaron Baer, in October 2021.

Vance was joined by other *********** candidates in Ohio’s Senate race for 2022.

When the candidates were asked about handling problems with schools and making them more responsive to parents, Vance took aim at Weingarten, who has described herself as “a mother by marriage,” by saying she “doesn’t have a single child.”

“There is no ******* threat to ********* children than the left wing indoctrination being peddled in our schools by ********* like Randi Weingarten, with the support of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz,” Van Kirk said.

A spokesperson for the teachers union directed NBC News to Weingarten’s comments on X about Vance’s remarks.

National Education Association President Becky Pringle said in a statement to NBC News that former President Donald Trump and Vance lack respect for educators who “dedicate their lives to serving students.”

Vance isn’t the first *********** who has disparaged Weingarten’s status as a parent.
