Kids

6:25 PM PT -- A spokeswoman for J.D. Vance tells TMZ ...“J.D. clearly says in the audio that our leaders on the left, especially anti-child radical Randi Weingarten, who brainwash our kids, are deeply disturbing — and he stands by that statement."

Another one of J.D. Vance’s "childless" jibes is coming back to haunt him ... this time slamming teachers who don’t have biological kids ... which fits right in with his controversial "cat lady" remark.

In unearthed audio from 2021, you can hear J.D. ranting about how disoriented and disturbed he feels about leaders of the left without biological kiddos of their own trying to "brainwash the minds of our children."

Before this cool lil' guy in his red collared tee was up on the big screen, he was just sneaking into theaters with his friends, growing up in Dublin, Ireland with his brother and dreaming of making it big in Hollywood!

Before this adorable and cool kid from Malibu was bustin' a move, he was just flexin' for the camera in his red bucket hat and red underwear and skatin' around town while growin' up in the Hollywood spotlight.
