BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT

Senator Tim Kaine thought he had a viral moment lined up—accusing Trump’s labor nominee of saying “women want part-time work.” But nominee Mr. Berry hit back with facts, not spin. The only thing that got exposed was Kaine’s desperate narrative.

COUNTERPOINT

Here’s what Kaine tried to sell:

• Berry believes part-time jobs are “for women.”
• Women in full-time jobs should be offended.
• The Trump administration is gutting women’s rights at work. Kaine even asked women in the room to raise their hands. It wasn’t a question—it was a setup.

FACTS ONLY

Berry never said “women belong in part-time work.” He cited national surveys showing a preference among many American women for flexible or part-time schedules—data from sources like American Compass. He emphasized it wasn’t a blanket statement—it was fact-based.

Berry agreed that men and women should have equal opportunities and acknowledged real barriers still exist in the workplace. He even confirmed: he’s never personally pushed to eliminate the Women’s Bureau, despite supporting the President’s overall agenda. That’s not rhetoric. That’s the transcript.

THE AMERICA FIRST VIEW

Here’s the truth: Senator Kaine tried to twist a data point into a smear. He wanted outrage, not answers. But Berry wasn’t rattled. He stayed calm, professional, and stood on solid ground. While the Left screams sexism, Trump’s team is trying to build a labor force that works for families—men and women alike.

WHAT’S NEXT

Expect Democrats to keep weaponizing identity politics at every hearing. Watch for confirmation votes in July—and more failed attempts to sink Trump’s nominees with out-of-context quotes. And remember: Americans aren’t falling for it anymore. They're tired of gotcha games. They want facts. They want function. And they’ve got it in leaders like Mr. Berry.
