Reporter Asks Vance About His Crazy Cat Lady Comment — He Turns It Around to Blast Harris

Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. 🏛️J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) is addressing a comment he made three years ago about so-called cat ladies.

On Tuesday, a reporter asked about a claim he made on Fox News in 2021 that the government is run by a “bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable.”

One supporter yelled, “This cat lady loves you!”

Vance responded by using the time to hammer the current administration and Vice President Kamala Harris, “What I said is very simple: I think American families are good and government policy should be more pro-family. If the media wants to get offended about a sarcastic remark I made before I even ran for the Senate, then the media is entitled to get offended.”

He continued:

“You know what I’m offended by? That normal Americans can’t afford groceries, that 👤Kamala Harris opened up the American southern border, and I’m offended that she wants to be the people’s president but cannot answer tough questions. That’s what I’m offended by, and I think that’s what most Americans are offended by too.”

In 2021, Vance said the people who run the government are “miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.” 

“It’s just a basic fact — you look at 👤Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?” he added.

And speaking to journalist Megyn Kelly last month, he said, “Obviously, it was a sarcastic comment.”

“I’ve got nothing against cats. I’ve got nothing against dogs. … People are focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance of what I actually said. The substance of what I said, Megyn — I’m sorry, it’s true,” he added.
