Don't Mess With Moms: Usha Vance Fires Back at The New York Times for Pregnancy-Shaming Her

The miserable scolds in the dead legacy media are at it again. 

And you thought their obsession with the Reflecting Pool and the White House Ballroom was bad.

Proving that there is no bar they cannot slither under, yesterday, The New York Times decided that the pregnancies of Katie Miller, wife of Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and Second Lady Usha Vance were not the actions of loving mothers wanting to build families, but a political statement for MAGA. 

We wish we were making this up. 

The article is titled -- no, we are not joking -- 'The Politics and Power of the Pregnancy Image.' 

Once again, we cannot hate them enough. 

If the bare-chested, muscled mixed martial arts fighters of the U.F.C. match that President Trump hosted on Flag Day were the poster guys for MAGA’s image of masculinity, then the pregnant women of Trump world are one half of their feminine counterparts. Along with the sheath-clad, lip-filled, pageant-haired Mar-a-Lago set, they offer an image of idealized womanhood that gives literal shape to the pronatalist movement.

'It almost feels like a memo went out,' said Jill Filipovic, the host of the 'Week in Women' podcast. 'They have quite intentionally opted to present themselves as, ‘I am really pregnant, and this is what women were chosen to do,’ and they are happy to say that both with their looks and their mouths.'

The article then proceeds to critique the pregnancy clothing of Vance, Miller, and Leavitt. 

Their pregnancy clothing! 

Indeed, ever since Vance, Leavitt and Miller revealed their pregnancies, their public appearances have showcased their growing stomachs. There was Vance in April, deplaning on an official trip with her husband in Hungary in a body-hugging lilac sweater and a satin skirt, cradling her growing stomach; here she was later that month greeting King Charles III in another body-aware dress. There was Leavitt, at Christmas, in a stretchy knit dress, hand atop her belly; here was Miller at Trump’s party on New Year’s Eve at Mar-a-Lago in a bias-cut halter gown, arm also cupping her stomach.

Maybe the Times and author Vanessa Freeman need to go back to middle school biology class. Because women's stomachs tend to grow when they're pregnant. Are they supposed to hide that so that bitter, childless, crazy cat ladies like Jill Filipovic don't get triggered? 

The Times took on the wrong ladies for this snide and spiteful hit piece, though. We all know how adept JD Vance is at social media and owning the left; what we didn't know is that his wife is equally talented. 

She fired back with both barrels and a healthy dose of humor, just like the Vice President.

... story with your kids on Storytime with the Second Lady.

Perfect. Absolutely perfect. 

Vance even provided receipts in case the leftist media wants to launch an investigation into the cost of her maternity dress. 

Maybe the Times should go back to complimenting Jill Biden on her kitchen drapes' style of haute couture, because they were out of their league with -- and easily outclassed by -- Vance.

Every time we think the media can't suffer more from TDS, they go and prove that they have no limit. 

The left only mock themselves unintentionally. 

Needless to say, the hit piece backfired massively on the Times because it only brought out the huge amount of admiration Americans have for the Second Lady and the Vance family. 

A flawless look AND a flawless victory over the leftist media. 

If the Times had merely attacked Vance herself, she likely would have ignored them (and they would have hated that). 

But this article attacked her motherhood, her family, and the whole idea of family as some kind of MAGA dog whistle.

For that, they deserved and earned every ounce of Vance's polite but hilarious contempt. 

We second that motion! 

HA! That's sure to win the costume contest. 

Vance even inspired other bargain hunters with her cordial Times takedown. 

We wouldn't worry too much about that. Given the overwhelming and complimentary response Vance received, we'd bet Old Navy stocks a lot more of them very soon. 

As for The New York Times, all we can say is that Usha Vance looks a lot better in her bargain maternity dress than the black sack of shame they once again threw upon themselves.
