In 2021, Sen. JD Vance, the vice-presidential candidate, ignited a controversy with his disparaging comments about “childless cat ladies” running the country. During a Fox News segment, Vance told host Tucker Carlson, “We’re effectively run in this country, via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who 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.” Meanwhile, Vance still stands with his previous remarks, as proven by his appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show recently, as reported by HuffPost.
During the show, Kelly asked him to address the backlash over his use of the term “cat ladies.” He said, “Obviously, it was a sarcastic comment. I’ve got nothing against cats. I’ve got nothing against dogs, I’ve got one dog at home and I love him. But look, people are focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance of what I actually said, and the substance of what I said, Megyn, I’m sorry, it’s true.
