JD Vance Says He Was Being 'Sarcastic' About Childless Cat Ladies, Has 'Nothing Against Cats'
HuffPost
The GOP vice presidential candidate doubled down on his remarks that top Democrats are childless and miserable and want to make everyone unhappy.
JD Vance isn’t backing down from his past criticism of prominent elected Democrats as “childless cat ladies.”
In an interview on SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Kelly talked to Vance in depth about scornful comments he made in 2021 about people who choose not to procreate. At one point, she asked him to respond to the outrage over his use of the term “cat ladies.”
“Obviously, it was a sarcastic comment. I’ve got nothing against cats. I’ve got nothing against dogs, and I’ve got one dog at home, and I love him,” Vance said.
“People are focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance of what I said, and the substance of what I said, Megyn, I’m sorry, it’s true,” Vance said.
In his interview with Kelly on Friday, Vance acknowledged that Harris has stepchildren and that Buttigieg has adopted children.
