JD Vance Rails About Viral Trend After Son Goes ‘Absolutely Nuts’ In Church

On Dec 11, 2025

JD Vance appears to be no fan of the viral “6-7” craze.

In a social media post on Tuesday, the vice president said his 5-year-old son, Vivek, “went absolutely nuts” at church when the Bible readings happened to fall on pages 66–67 of the missal.

The child repeated “‘six seven’ like 10 times,” Vance wrote.

“And now I think we need to make this narrow exception to the First Amendment and ban these numbers forever,” he said.

Yesterday at church the Bible readings started on page 66-67 of the missal, and my 5-year-old went absolutely nuts repeating “six seven” like 10 times. And now I think we need to make this narrow exception to the first amendment and ban these numbers forever.

In a follow-up post, Vance asked of the trend, “Where did this even come from? I don’t understand it. When we were kids all of our viral trends at least had an origin story.”

(HuffPost’s explainer is here, Mr. VP.)

It’s likely Vance was being tongue-in-cheek with his posts.

But his parenting style and commentary on free speech have drawn scrutiny before.

Earlier this year, the father of three told MAGA podcaster Katie Miller, the wife of Trump White House aide Stephen Miller, how he handles his kids’ meltdowns:

“If they have a tantrum in a public place, I immediately grab them, take them to the bathroom and say, ‘You got to cut that shit out.’”

And last August, Vance recounted snapping at his eldest son for talking about Pokémon while he was taking a call from Donald Trump, during which the then-presidential candidate asked the “Hillbilly Elegy” author to be his running mate.

Vance said of his child at the time: “He’s really into it… So he’s trying to talk to me about Pikachu, and I’m on the phone with Donald Trump. And I’m like, ‘Son, shut the hell up for 30 seconds about Pikachu.’”
